Draining the oil by removing the oil drain
screw
1. Remove the four bolts to remove the
apron from the starboard side.
2. Tilt the outboard motor 5–10 degrees up,
then turn it entirely to the starboard side
until the drain screw is directly below.
3. Prepare a suitable container that holds a
larger amount than the engine oil capaci-
ty. Loosen and remove the drain screw
while holding the container under the
drain hole. Let the oil drain completely.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
4. Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
install the drain screw.
NOTE:
● If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into
contact with the surface of the drain hole.
Then tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten
the drain screw to the correct torque with a
torque wrench as soon as possible.
● Apply grease to the apron retaining bolts
before tightening them.
5. About adding the engine oil, refer to the
step 3 to 6 on the above oil changing pro-
cedures with the oil changer.
