PROTECT THE INSIDE OF YOUR BOAT ENGINE DURING STORAGE

DIY STORAGE TIP
TO PROTECT YOUR BOAT ENGINE

As an angler, life often gets in the way of spending time on the water. Be it family, work, hunting or ice, extended sits can spell problems with your outboard engine.

Without regular use, outboard motors are susceptible to aging fuel and even corrosion formation within the upper cylinder walls themselves.

The problem stems from gravity – as a motor sits idle, oil and other lubricating compounds drain out of the upper cylinder. Ambient moisture can collect on unprotected metal and especially so where the piston rings meet cylinder walls, causing rust to form. Corrosion within cylinders can reduce an outboard’s performance and shorten its overall lifespan.

SEA FOAM MARINE PRO

COMPLETE MARINE 
ENGINE TREATMENT

Marine PRO adds protective lubricity to the entire fuel system, preventing rust and corrosion and protecting critical engine areas during storage.

HOW TO FIX iT

PREVENTING CYLINDER RUST
DURING STORAGE

The first step to reducing cylinder rust is treating your fuel. Before parking the boat for a nap, I add a can or two of Sea Foam Marine PRO to my fuel. In addition to stabilizing fuel, Marine PRO contains lubricating oils that create a protective film on metal parts and thwart off the effects of moisture.

The second step is to “exercise” the cylinders through the simple act of turning your engine over. For older hand-pull 2-strokes, simple pull the recoil to move the cylinders. If you have a 4-Stroke, turn the engine over, then turn the key off before the combustion cycle begins. The act of moving the cylinders redistributes the lubricating oils for fresh protection. And commonsense says that the longer something sits, the greater the chances for corrosion to set in.

Did you know that untreated engine cylinders and rings can dry out and form rust deposits during storage? If fact, most marine engines we borescope show ring rust deposits on the cylinder walls. Ryan DeChaine from wired2fish.com shows how easy it is to make sure your boat engine’s cylinder cavities won’t rust while your boat isn’t being used.

QUALITY OF PRODUCT

MECHANIC IN A CAN

I’ve owned a 2006 Yamaha F90 Tiller on a Lund18 ProV since new! I Did not think there was anything wrong with my Yamaha Tiller. I had about 6 gallons left in my tank when I added the Seafoam Marine Pro. I took it to the lake, took off down the lake not really expecting a lot but boy did I get a surprise after a while the motor was running smoother, the hole shot is noticeably improved! I did not realize my motor was ill! I It was like having a Mechanic in a can. Wow this stuff works! I will use Seafoam Marine Pro with every fill up as well as winter storage!

SEA FOAM MARINE – MAGIC POTION

I have a 2014 Tracker Wt 16 w/ 60HP Mercury I purchased new . I have about 100 hrs on this and have used additives from time to time. After using Sea Foam Marine PRO for a month now my Mercury starts on the first turn of the key. It has totally cleaned out the injectors and has no spitting or sputtering. The hole shot take off has improved with no hesitation. When I idle down it will be so quiet that I have to look behind me to see if we’re even moving, it runs that smooth. I have to refuel before the next outing and I will definitely add another can of Sea Foam Marine PRO to the fuel tank. Thank you for such a great reliable product.
