Yamaha 4 stroke 100HP - salt build up
Submitted by Simo_ on Sat, 2020-02-22 19:30
Hey guy
I had a look at my motor today and noticed some salt build up. I don't know much about motors, is this a problem? should I be washing out the base of the motor?
The pics are taken from the right had side of the motor.
Cheers

i noticed the same thing on my 150. sprayed a bit of degreaser in there and
put some rag on a long screwdriver and rubbed it around then washed it out.
after it was dry i gave it a spray of lanolin. hopefully it keeps it away. it looks like
it builds up because the drains don`t let all the water out if any gets in there
and it sits around this area

I just cleaned and washed it out. Was a bigger job than I thought it would be. I will keep on eye on it from now on.
