           Fuel system
           Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel, adding one
           ounce of Fuel Med RX, available from your
           Yamaha Boat Dealer, to each gallon of fuel or
           use an equivalent according to the manufac-
           ture’s instructions. (See page 134 for infor-
           mation on filling the fuel tank.) Do not “top
           off” the tank, because fuel could spill. A full
           fuel tank is less likely to allow condensation
           to collect in the tank, reducing the chance of

           Use of Fuel Med RX eliminates the need to
           drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha Boat
           Dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel
           system is to be drained instead.

           Lubrication
           It is advisable to take the boat to a Yamaha
           Boat Dealer to have the engines fogged for
           long-term storage.

           Grease points
           To  keep  moving parts sliding or rotating
           smoothly, coat them with water-resistant
           grease.
