General care Yamaha FX HO 160 hp

Checking oil

Oil reservoir cap, remove stick has full and low mark

Do not over fill

When engine is cold level will be approximately 1/2 way I n the stick
After the engine warms up if you check it, the level will be full.

If the oil level is low before running and about half way, check it after warming up if possible Before adding oil

If you overfill the oil, can use a hand pump to remove excess oil or even a turkey batter

Overfill the oil tank and excess oil will foul the spark plugs so do not run with overfill oil tank

Engine flushing fresh water

The engine flush connection is under the back seat, remove the screw cap and install flush adapter hose.
 Push in and turn to lock adapter to ski

Do not turn water on when ski is not running
If you do water will enter exhaust and lock up ski
Always start up the engine first
Then slowly turn water on

After flushing turn water off first
Then shut engine down

Salt away is good to use to prevent corrosion
