10. MAINTENANCE<br />
Submerged Motor<br />
A submerged motor must be serv-<br />
iced immediately after it is recov-<br />
ered’from the water inorder to<br />
mimumize corrosion.<br />
Immediately take the outboard mo-<br />
tor to the closest authorized <strong>Honda</strong><br />
<strong>Marine</strong> dealer or if you are far from<br />
a dehlership, proceed as follows:<br />
I. Remove the engine cover, and<br />
rinse the motor with fresh water<br />
to remove salt water, sand, mud,<br />
etc.<br />
2. Drain the carburetors (Refer to<br />
Storage page 94).<br />
3. Disengage the emergency stop<br />
switch clip from the emergency<br />

EMERGENCY STARTEli ROPE<br />
5. Remove the flywheel cover fol-<br />
lowing the emergency starting<br />
procedure (refer to page 44) and<br />
remove the water from the cylin-<br />
ders by pulling the emergency<br />
starter rope several times. If the<br />
motor was running when it sub-<br />
merged, there may be mechanical<br />
damage, such as bent connecting<br />
rods. If the engine binds when ro-<br />
tated with the emergency starter<br />
rope, do not proceed or attempt to<br />
run the motor until it has been<br />
repaired.<br />
6. Change the engine oil (refer to<br />
page 79).<br />
7. Put a teaspoon of engine oil into<br />
each spark plug hole to lubricate<br />
the inside of the cylinders. Then<br />
rotate the engine several times, us-<br />
ing the emergency starter rope.<br />
Reinstall the spark plugs.<br />
-1 Running the outboard<br />
motor without suffkient cooling<br />
water will damage the water<br />
pump and overheat the engine.
