How to clean the engine of a outboard motor ?

[steplift20]

Will the water get into the electronic parts ( wires,boxes , linkage, ) just spray it on and hose it off? Than crc 656. It's a 150 Mercury outboard.

I was going to say crc 656 after you clean it. Love that stuff!

I used to like Boeshield, but it was getting harder to find. Used a spray called Linebacker once, great stuff, but what a mess. Was like cosmolene in a can.

Anyone use Yamashield, heard good stuff about it?

just dont hose the starter down, turn the battery switch off and let it air dry
