FOUR STROKE OUTBOARD?
Submitted by Big Kev on Sun, 2006-10-15 06:58
Can anybody give me some advice about 4 stroke Outboards? Is it OK to lay a 4 stroke on its side when travelling? The motor in question is a Honda 15hp. Will the motor be damaged in anyway,leak sump oil or whatever,could you help me out? Any info appreciated, THANKS.

4 stroke
Hows it going Big Kev,
Not 100% sure how it works with 4 stroke outboards but I know with 4 stroke lawnmowers you should never turn them upside down. Think there is only 1 way you can turn them on their side to but not to sure. I imagine it would be the same with outboards but Id say your best bet would be to ask a dealer or their servicde department - they should be able to tell you all the ins and outs of it all.
