Cleaning And Flushing - Honda BF75D Owner's Manual

After each use in salt water or dirty
water, thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water.
Do not apply water or corrosion
inhibitor directly to the electrical
components under the engine
cover, such as the O2 sensor. If
water or corrosion inhibitor
penetrates this component, it may
be damaged. Before applying a
corrosion inhibitor, cover the O2
sensor with a protective material to
prevent damage.
Shut off the engine before performing
