6. Cold weather precautions

If you moor your boat in cold weather at
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), there is
the danger of remained water freezing in
the cooling water pump, which may dam-
age the pump, impeller, etc. To avoid this
problem, submerge the lower half of the
outboard motor into the water.
