outboard storage?
hey all last year i bought a 4 stroke 5hp mercury outboard from bass pro shops and they also broke in the engine for me with this whole package and when i picked it up the sticker on the side of the engine cover said to store on the side with the sticker facing upward. my old 2 stroke i stored on a wooden saw horse verticle, with this being a new 4 stroke i figure it was ok until a few weeks ago i went to move it and there is oil seeping out of the bottom part of the engine(well more towards the bottom end near the prop area). so i stood the engine back up vertically. so is this storage sticker that says store on its side only before the engine break in and store vertically after the breakin period? i plan on getting BPS to give it a quick check and top up the fluids before i use it.
