Procedure

Submerged Outboard Motor Emergency Recovery

1. Do NOT attempt to start the submerged outboard motor immediately after recovery — engine could be severely damaged. Take the motor to a dealer immediately if possible. WARNING: Do not attempt to start submerged outboard motor immediately after it is recovered, or engine could be severely damaged. 2. Wash the outboard motor with fresh water to remove salt or dirt. 3. Remove the engine oil drain screw and completely drain water and oil from the engine. 4. Remove the spark plugs and completely drain the water from the engine by pulling the recoil starter several times. Replace oil filter and refill oil to the correct level. 5. Note: The oil and filter may need to be changed again after running a short period to get all moisture completely out of the crankcase. 6. Inject a sufficient amount of engine oil through the spark plug holes. Pull the recoil starter rope several times to circulate the oil throughout the outboard motor.
