GENERAL INFORMATION Boater's Responsibilities The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the boat and safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly recommended that each operator (driver) read and understand this entire manual before operating the outboard. For additional information, obtain a copy of our Hi-Performance Boat Operation booklet (part number 90-849250-1) from your dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

Ob00307 Outboard Remote Control Models The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a start in neutral only protection device. GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially violent action can cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing them to serious injury or death. Ob0050001 Self-locking nuts (2) 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 We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper starting and operating procedures should they be required to operate the engine in an emergency (e.g. If the operator is accidentally ejected). WARNING Should the operator fall out of the boat, the possibility of serious injury or death from being run over by the boat can be greatly reduced by stopping the engine immediately.

GENERAL INFORMATION 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. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change of boat direction, could throw them over the front of boat. GENERAL INFORMATION ob00314 The primary concern is the boat changing direction while in the midst of the jump.

In such case the landing may cause the boat to veer violently in a new direction. Such a sharp change in direction can cause occupants to be thrown out of their seats, or out of the boat.

GENERAL INFORMATION. A rapid reduction in speed.

This will cause occupants to be thrown forward, or even out of the boat. Impact damage to the outboard and/or boat. Keep in mind, the most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage during an impact is control the boat speed. Running the boat with the trim angle of the bow too high. Running the boat with no forward hatches open.

BOAT TRANSOM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT Measure the transom height of your boat.

INSTALLATION ob00504 Bolts (2) Locknut (2) Washer (2) Battery Installation - Electric Start Models MOUNTING BATTERY Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions carefully. Mount battery in the boat so it is secured against movement, preferably in a battery box. Make sure battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield to prevent accidental shorting of battery terminals. TRANSPORTING Transporting Your Outboard When Removed From Boat CAUTION Transport and store the outboard only as shown. Otherwise, engine damage or property damage could result from leaking oil.

With the outboard still in the water, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from the carburetor. TRANSPORTING AUTO-VENTING TYPE FUEL TANK Disconnect the remote fuel line from tank. This will close the air vent and prevent escape of fuel or vapors from tank. Install tether cap over the fuel line connector stem.

This will protect the connector stem from being accidently pushed-in, thus, allowing fuel or vapor to escape. TRANSPORTING 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. Additional clearance may be required for railroad crossings, driveways and trailer bouncing. Ob00509 Shift the outboard into forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely and allows the outboard to tilt up if hit from the front. (Ethanol) or Ether (MTBE or ETBE). If Ethanol is the oxygenates that is used in the gasoline, refer to Alcohol in Gasoline.

These reformulated fuels are acceptable for use in the Mercury engine.

FUEL & OIL Engine Oil Recommendations We recommend the use of Mercury or Quicksilver SAE 10W-30 multi-viscosity 4-Stroke Outboard Oil for general, all-temperature use. If SAE 25W-40 multi-viscosity oil is preferred, use Mercury MerCruiser 4-cycle engine oil or Quicksilver sterndrive & inboard 4-cycle engine oil.
