your outboard motor’s function and
appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start when you use the
outboard motor again.
Thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water after
operation in dirty water or salt water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and
coat areas that may rust with Honda
