GENERAL INFORMATION 20 eng Boater's Responsibilities The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the boat and the safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly recommended that each operator read and understand this entire manual before operating the outboard.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 21 Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as determined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
GENERAL INFORMATION 22 eng Remote Steering Notice The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts. These self‑locking nuts must never be replaced with common nuts (nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 23 The outboard must be secured to the transom with the four 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) diameter mounting bolts and locknuts provided. Install two bolts through the upper set of holes and two bolts through the lower set of holes.
GENERAL INFORMATION 24 eng Lanyard Stop Switch The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the switch.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 25 Important Safety Information: The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch.
GENERAL INFORMATION 26 eng KEEP THE LANYARD STOP SWITCH AND LANYARD CORD IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION Before each use, check to ensure the lanyard stop switch works properly. Start the engine and stop it by pulling the lanyard cord. If the engine does not stop, have the switch repaired before operating the boat.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 27 Passenger Safety Message ‑ Pontoon Boats and Deck Boats Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed.
GENERAL INFORMATION 28 eng Any unexpected, sudden reduction in boat speed could result in the elevated passenger falling over the front of the boat. 26783 Wave and Wake Jumping Operating recreational boats over waves and wake is a natural part of boating.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 29 Impact with Underwater Hazards Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a boat in shallow water areas, or in areas where you suspect underwater obstacles may exist which could be struck by the outboard or the boat bottom.
GENERAL INFORMATION 30 eng ! WARNING Operating a boat or engine with impact damage can result in product damage, serious injury, or death. If the vessel experiences any form of impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair the vessel or power package.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 31 GOOD VENTILATION Ventilate the passenger area, open side curtains or forward hatches to remove fumes. Example of desired air flow through the boat: 21622 POOR VENTILATION Un.

TRANSPORTING eng 37 Trailering Boat/Outboard Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position. If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up using an accessory outboard support device. Refer to your local dealer for recommendations.
FUEL AND OIL 38 eng Fuel Recommendations IMPORTANT: Use of improper gasoline can damage your engine. Engine damage resulting from the use of improper gasoline is considered misuse of the engine, and damage caused thereby will not be covered under the limited warranty.
FUEL AND OIL eng 39 ! WARNING Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious injury or death. Periodically inspect all fuel system components for leaks, softening, hardening, swelling, or corrosion, particularly after storage. Any sign of leakage or deterioration requires replacement before further engine operation.
FUEL AND OIL 40 eng EPA Pressurized Portable Fuel Tank Requirements The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires portable fuel systems that are produced after January 1, 2011, for use with outboard engines to remain fully sealed (pressurized) up to 34.
FUEL AND OIL eng 41 Since sealed fuel tanks are not vented, they will expand and contract as the fuel expands and contracts during heating and cooling cycles of the outside air. This is normal. REMOVING THE FUEL CAP a - Fuel cap b - Manual vent screw c - Tab lock IMPORTANT: Contents may be under pressure.
FUEL AND OIL 42 eng Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.
FUEL AND OIL eng 43 4. Pull out the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick end with a clean rag or towel and push it back in all the way. 5. Pull the dipstick back out again and observe the oil level.
FUEL AND OIL 44 eng IMPORTANT: Inspect oil for signs of contamination. Oil contaminated with water will have a milky color to it; oil contaminated with fuel will have a strong fuel smell. If contaminated oil is noticed, have the engine checked by your dealer.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS eng 45 Remote Control Features Your boat may be equipped with one of the Mercury Precision or Quicksilver remote controls shown. If not, consult your dealer for a description of the functions and operations of the remote control.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS 46 eng 1. Continuous six second beep: Indicates a critical engine condition. Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian system may engage and protect the engine by limiting power. You should return to port immediately and contact your servicing dealer.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS eng 47 OVERSPEED REV LIMIT The overspeed rev limit is set at an RPM greater than the operating range. In the event that the engine is operated at an RPM greater than or equal to the overspeed limit, the PCM does not allow the engine to maintain the power requested by the operator.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS 48 eng Power Trim and Tilt The outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This enables the operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the trim switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming in or down.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS eng 49 Consider the following lists carefully. 1. Trimming in or down can: • Lower the bow. • Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load or a stern heavy boat. • Generally improve the ride in choppy water. • Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the normal right‑hand rotation propeller.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS 50 eng 3. Disengage the tilt support lever by raising the outboard off the support lever and rotating the lever down. Lower the outboard. a - Tilt support lever b - Knob MANUAL TILTING If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can be manually tilted.
FEATURES AND CONTROLS eng 51 AUXILIARY TILT SWITCH This switch can be used to tilt the outboard up or down using the power trim system. a - Auxiliary tilt switch a 20886.
OPERATION 52 eng Important Daily Inspection Before Each Use Any outboard mounted on the boat must have the mounting hardware inspected and checked to ensure that the hardware has not become loose. A decal on the transom bracket reminds the owner to check the fasteners securing the outboard to the transom before each use.
OPERATION eng 53 Operating in Freezing Temperatures When using your outboard or having your outboard moored in freezing or near freezing temperatures, keep the outboard tilted down at all times so the gearcase is submerged.
OPERATION 54 eng EXAMPLE: An engine running at an elevation of 8,000 feet will have over a 30% power loss while a loss of engine power on a hot and humid day could be as much as 14%. These losses apply to normally aspirated and supercharged engines. Compensating for power robbing conditions: • Switch to lower pitch propeller.
OPERATION eng 55 2. Tilt the outboard up. Make sure all the cooling water intake holes stay submerged at all times. 3. Operate the engine at slow speed only. Models with a three‑ram trim system: If engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM, the outboard will automatically return down to the maximum trim range.
OPERATION 56 eng 1. Check the engine oil level. 20783 2. Ensure the cooling water intake is submerged. 20765 3. Open fuel tank vent screw (in filler cap) on manual venting type fuel tanks. 19748 4. Set the lanyard stop switch to RUN position. Refer to General Information ‑ Lanyard Stop Switch .
