WARNING

● Be sure the outboard motor is securely

fastened to the transom or a stable

stand. You could be severely injured if

the outboard motor falls on you.

● Never get under the lower unit while it is

tilted, even when the tilt support lever or

knob is locked. Severe injury could oc-

cur if the outboard motor accidentally

falls.

1. Tilt the outboard motor so that the gear oil

drain screw is at the lowest point possi-

ble.

2. Place a suitable container under the gear

case.

3. Remove the gear oil drain screw.

NOTE:

If the magnetic gear oil drain screw equipped:

remove all metal particles from the screw be-

fore installing it.

4. Remove the oil level plug to allow the oil

to drain completely.

CAUTION:

Inspect the used oil after it has been

drained. If the oil is milky, water is getting

into the gear case which can cause gear

damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer for re-

pair of the lower unit seals.
