be serviced immediately after it is
recovered from the water in order to
minimize corrosion.
If the engine was running when it

connecting rods. If the engine
binds when cranked, do not
attempt to run the engine until it
has been repaired.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
as described on p.

showed signs of water
contamination, then a second
engine oil change should be
performed after running the engine

rinse the outboard motor with
fresh water to remove salt water,
sand, mud, etc.
Drain the carburetor as described
on p.
