INSPECTION BEFORE
BOATING
 WARNING
Failure to inspect your boat and motor before
beginning a trip can be hazardous.
Before boating, always perform the inspec-
tions described in this section.
It is important to make sure that your boat and
motor are in good condition and that you are
properly prepared for an emergency.
Always perform the following checks before you
begin boating:
• Make sure that you have enough fuel for
the intended run.
• Check the level of engine oil in the sump.
NOTICE
Running the engine with an insufficient
amount of oil can cause serious engine dam-
age.
Always check the oil level before each trip and
add oil if necessary.
To check the oil level:
NOTE:
To avoid an incorrect assessment of engine oil
level, check the level only when the engine has
cooled.
1. Place the motor in a vertical position, then
remove the motor cover 1 by unlocking the
lever 2 and 3.

2. Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe oil off with a
clean cloth.
NOTE:
If the engine oil is contaminated or discolored,
replace with fresh engine oil (Refer to Inspec-
tion and maintenance/engine oil section).
3. Insert the dipstick all the way into the engine,
then remove it again.
The oil on the dipstick should be between
the upper and lower limits shown on the dip-
stick. If the oil level indication is near the
lower limit, add enough oil to raise the level
to the upper limit.
