Commercial use is defined as any work or employment related use of the product, or any use of the product which generates income, for any part of the warranty period, even i f t h e product is only occasionally used for such purposes. The repair or replacement of parts, or the performance of service under this warranty, does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date. Unexpired warranty coverage can be transferred to one recreational use to a subsequent recreational use customer upon proper re–registration of the product.

CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER T O OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE

Warranty coverage is availble only to retail customers that purchase from a Dealer authorized by Mercury Marine to distribute the product in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the Mercury Marine specified pre–delivery inspection process is completed and documented.

Inaccurate warranty registration information regarding recreational use, or subsequent change of use from recreational to commercial (unless properly re–registered) may void the warranty at the sole discretion of Mercury Marine. Routine maintenance outlined in the Operation and Maintenance Manual must be timely performed in order to maintain warranty coverage. If this maintenance is performed by the retail customer Mercury Marine reserves the right to make future warranty coverage contingent on proof of proper maintenance.

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.

Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basics of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is unable to operate the boat.

obb1

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OUTBOARD

Read this manual carefully. Learn how to operate your outboard properly. If you have any questions, contact your dealer.

Safety and operating information that is practiced along with using good common sense can help prevent personal injury and product damage.

This manual as well as safety labels posted on the outboard use the following safety alerts to draw your attention to special safety instructions that should be followed.

DANGER

DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor injury or product or property damage.

BOAT HORSEPOWER CAPACITY 1

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.

WARNING

Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1. cause loss of boat control 2. place too much weight at the transom altering the designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3. cause the boat to break apart particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death, or boat damage.

obd2

HIGH-SPEED AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE BOAT OPERATION

If your outboard is to be used on a high-speed or high-performance boat with which you are unfamiliar, we recommend that you never operate it at its high

speed capability without first requesting an initial orientation and familiarization demonstration ride with your dealer or an operator experienced with your boat/outboard combination. For additional information, obtain a copy of our Guide to Hi-Performance Boat Operation booklet (Part Number 90-848481) from your dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

OUTBOARD REMOTE CONTROL MODELS 1

The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a “start-in-neutral” only protection device. This prevents the engine from starting

when the shift is actuated in any position other than neutral.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden unexpected acceleration when starting your engine. The design of this outboard requires that the remote control used with it must have a built in start-in-gear protection device.

obf1

REMOTE STEERING NOTICE 2

The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened utilizing self-locking nuts (a). These self-locking nuts must never be

replaced with common nuts (non locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.

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.

gob8

obg6

LANY ARD STOP SWITCH 1

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. Tiller handle outboards and some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard stop switch can be installed as an accessory – generally on the dashboard or side adjacent to the operator’s position.

2 The lanyard is a cord usually between 4 and 5 feet (1220 and 1524 mm) in

length when stretched out with an element on one end made to be inserted into the switch and a snap on the other end for attaching to the operator. The lanyard is coiled to make its at-rest condition as short as possible so as to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. It is made as long as it is in its stretched condition to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the operator choose to move around in an area close to the normal operator’s position. If it is desired to have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator’s wrist or leg, or tie a knot in the lanyard.

Page 14

90-10128R40

GENERAL INFORMATION

LANYARD STOP SWITCH (CONTINUED)

Read the following Safety Information before proceeding. 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. This would occur if the operator accidentally falls overboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator’s position. Accidental ejections and falls overboard are more likely to occur in certain types of boats such as low sided inflatables or bass boats, high-performance boats and light, sensitive-handling fishing boats operated by hand-tiller. Accidental ejections and falls overboard are also likely to occur as a result of poor operating practices such as sitting on the back of the seat or gunwale at planing speeds, standing at planing speeds, sitting on elevated fishing boat decks, operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle-infested waters, releasing your grip on a steering wheel or tiller handle that is pulling in one direction, drinking alcohol or consuming drugs, or daring, high-speed boat maneuvers.

While activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, a boat will continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn at shut-down. However, the boat will not complete a full circle. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat’s path as seriously as the boat would when under power.

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. Always properly connect both ends of the stop switch lanyard – to the stop switch and the operator.

Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:

1. Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion – a particular concern for passengers in the front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck by the gear case or propeller .

2. Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current or high winds.

3. Loss of control when docking.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from in accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat operator should never leave the operator’s station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.

obh2

PROTECTING PEOPLE IN THE WATER

While You are Cruising

It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his/her direction even at slow speed.

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where there might be people in the water.

Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is in neutral position, there is suf ficient force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can cause serious injury.

While Boat is Stationary

Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water near your boat.

WARNING

Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat. Serious injury to the person in the water is likely if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving boat, a moving gear case, or any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat or gear case.

obz1

PASSENGER SAFETY MESSAGE – PONTOON BOATS AND DECK BOA TS

Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all the passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats other than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed, because a sudden reduction in boat speed, such as the result of 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. Falling over the front of the boat between the two pontoons will position them to be run over by the outboard.

1 Boats having an open front deck:

No one s hould ever be on the deck in front o f the fenc e while the boat is in motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or enclosure.

Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or persons dangling their feet over the front edge could get their legs caught by a wave and pulled into the water.

2 Boats with front-mounted, raised pedestal fishing seats:

These elevated fishing seats are not intended for use when the boat is traveling faster than idle or trolling speed. Sit only in seats designated for traveling at faster speeds.

Any unexpected sudden reduction in boat speed could result in the elevated passenger falling over the front of the boat.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from falling over the front end of a pontoon or deck boat and being run over by the outboard. Stay back from the front end of the deck and remain seated while the boat is in motion.

obu1

WAVE AND WAKE JUMPING

Operating recreational boats over waves and wakes is a natural part of boating. However, when this activity is done with sufficient speed to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when the boat re-enters the water.

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.

There is another less common hazardous result from allowing your boat to launch off a wave or wake. If the bow of your boat pitches down far enough while airborne, upon water contact it may penetrate under the water surface and “submarine” for an instant. This will bring the boat to a nearly instantaneous stop and can send the occupants flying forward. The boat may also steer sharply to one side.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from being thrown within or out of a boat when it lands after jumping a wave or wake. Avoid wave or wake jumping whenever possible. Instruct all occupants that if a wake or wave jump occurs, get low and hang on to any boat hand hold.

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 of underwater obstacles may exist which could be struck by the outboard or the boat bottom. The most important

thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a floating or underwater object is to control the boat speed. Under these conditions, boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing speed (15 to 25 MPH).

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death from all or part of an outboard coming into the boat after striking a floating or underwater obstacle maintain a top speed no greater than minimum planing speed.

Striking a floating or underwater object could result in an infinite number of situations. Some of these situations could result in the following:

a. Part of the outboard or the entire outboard could break loose and fly into

the boat.

b. The boat could move suddenly 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.

c. A rapid reduction in speed. This will cause occupants to be thrown forward,

or even out of the boat.

d. Impact damage to the outboard and/or boat.

obt8

IMPACT WITH UNDERWATER HAZARDS

Keep in mind, the most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage in these situations is control the boat speed. Boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing speed when driving in waters known to have underwater obstacles.

After striking a submerged object, stop the engine as soon as possible and inspect the outboard for any broken or loose parts. If damage is present or suspected, the outboard should be taken to an authorized dealer for a thorough inspection and necessary repair.

The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures, transom fractures, or water leaks.

Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to other parts of the outboard, or could affect control of the boat. If continued running is necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control. Continued boating with major impact damage can result in sudden outboard component failure with or without subsequent impacts. Have the outboard thoroughly inspected and any necessary repairs made.

EXHAUST EMISSIONS

Be Alert To Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is present in the exhaust fumes of all internal combustion engines including the outboards, stern drives and inboard engines that propel boats, as well as the generators that power various boat accessories. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that is odorless, colorless and tasteless.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning which should not be confused with seasickness or intoxication, include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.

WARNING

Avoid the combination of a running engine and poor ventilation. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide in sufficient concentration can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death.

Good Ventilation

Ventilate passenger area, open side curtains, or forward hatches to remove fumes.

1 Example of desired air flow through the boat.

gob39

obi3

EXHAUST EMISSIONS (CONTINUED)

Poor V entilation

Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat.

Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in an unclosed area of a stationary boat that contains or is near a running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.

2 Examples of Poor Ventilation:

While boat is stationary

a. Running the engine when the boat is moored in a confined space. b. Mooring close to another boat that has its engine running.

While boat is moving

c. Running the boat with the trim angle of the bow too high. d. Running the boat with no forward hatches open (station wagon effect).

SELECTING ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR OUTBOARD

Genuine Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Accessories have been specifically designed and tested for your outboard. These accessories are avialable from Mercury Marine dealers.

Some accessories not manufactured or sold by Mercury Marine are not designed to be safely used with your outboard or outboard operating system. Acquire and read the installation, operation, and maintenance manuals for all your selected accessories.

WARNING

Check with your dealer before installation of accessories. The misuse of acceptable accessories or the use of unacceptable accessories can result in serious injury, death, or product failure.

SAFE BOA TING SUGGESTIONS

In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following suggestions.

Use flotation devices. Have an approved personal flotation device of suitable size for each person aboard (it is the law) and have it readily accessible.

Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for maximum load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate). If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boats manufacturer .

Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regular schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made.

Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways. Boat operators should complete a boating safety course. Courses are offered in the U.S.A. by (1) The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, (2) The Power Squadron, (3) The Red Cross and (4) your state boating law enforcement agency. Inquiries may be made to the Boating Hot-line, 1-800-368-5647 or the Boat U.S. Foundation information number 1-800-336-BOAT.

Make sure everyone in the boat is properly seated. Don’t allow anyone to sit or ride on any part of the boat that was not intended for such use. This includes backs of seats, gunwales, transom, bow, decks, raised fishing seats, any rotating fishing seat; anywhere that sudden unexpected acceleration, sudden stopping, unexpected loss of boat control or sudden boat movement could cause a person to be thrown overboard or into the boat.

Never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while boating (it is the law). They impair your judgment and greatly reduce your ability to react quickly.

Prepare other boat operators. Instruct a t least one person on board in the basics of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver becomes disabled or falls overboard.

Passenger boarding. Stop the engine whenever passengers are boarding, unloading or are near the back (stern) of the boat. Just shifting the outboard into neutral is not sufficient.

Be alert. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to “maintain a proper lookout by sight (and hearing).” The operator must have an unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats should block the operators view when operating the boat above idle speed.

Never drive your boat directly behind a water skier in case the skier falls. As an example, your boat traveling at 25 miles per hour (40 km/hr) in 5 seconds will overtake a fallen skier who was 200 feet (61m) in front of you.

Watch fallen skiers. When using your boat for water skiing or similar activities, always keep a fallen or down skier on the operator’s side of the boat while returning to attend the skier. The operator should always have the down skier in sight and never back up to the skier or anyone in the water.

Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a Boating Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if (1) there is loss of life or probable loss of life, (2) there is personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, (3) there is damage to boats or other property where the damage value exceeds $500.00 or (4) there is complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law enforcement.

INSTALLING OUTBOARD

WARNING

Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with four mounting bolts shown. Failure to correctly fasten outboard could result in outboard ejecting off boat transom causing serious injury, death, or property damage.

1 We strongly recommend that your dealer install your outboard and related

accessories to ensure proper installation and good performance. If you install the outboard yourself, follow instructions in the Outboard Installation Manual which is provided with the outboard.

2 The outboard must be secured to the transom with the four 1/2 inch diameter

mounting bolts and locknuts provided with the outboard. Install two bolts thru the upper set of holes and two bolts thru the lower set of holes.

oci3

Maximum Outboard Mounting Height

3 The mounting height (a) for the outboard must not exceed 25 in. (635 mm) for

EL models, 30 in. (762 mm) for EXL models, and 35 in. (889 mm) for EXXL models. Mounting the outboard higher may cause damage to the gear case components.

goc11

och2

PROPELLER SELECTION

For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a propeller that allows the engine to operate in the upper half of the recommended full throttle RPM range with the boat normally loaded (refer to Specifications). This RPM range allows for better acceleration while maintaining maximum boat speed.

If changing conditions cause the RPM to drop below the recommended range (such as warmer, more humid weather, operation at higher elevations, increased boat load, or a dirty boat bottom/gear case) a propeller change or cleaning may be required to maintain performance and ensure the outboards durability.

Check full-throttle RPM using an accurate tachometer with the engine trimmed out to a balanced-steering condition (steering effort equal in both directions) without causing the propeller to “break loose.”

TRAILERING BOAT/OUTBOARD

Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down (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. Additional clearance may be required for railroad crossings, driveways and trailer bouncing.

IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt support lever to maintain proper ground clearance for trailering. The outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the outboard for trailering.

Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.

GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS

United States and Canada

Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating of 87. Mid-grade automotive gasolines that contain fuel injector cleaner are preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is not recommended.

International

Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating of 90RON. Automotive gasolines that contain fuel injector cleaner are preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is acceptable in areas where unleaded gasoline is not available.

Alcohol in Gasoline

We do not recommend the use of gasoline which contains alcohol because of the possible adverse effect the alcohol may have on the fuel system. In general, if only gasoline containing alcohol is available, it must not contain more than 10% ethanol or 5% methanol, and the addition of a Water Separating Fuel Filter is recommended.

If gasoline containing alcohol is used or if you suspect the presence of alcohol in your gasoline, increase your inspection of the fuel system, visually checking for fuel leaks or abnormalities.

Gasoline containing alcohol may cause the following problems to your outboard and fuel system:

• Corrosion of metal parts.

• Deterioration of elastomers and plastic parts.

• Wear and damage of internal engine parts.

• Starting and operating difficulties.

• Vapor lock or fuel starvation.

Some of these adverse effects are due to the tendency of gasoline containing alcohol to absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a phase of water and alcohol which separates from the gasoline in the fuel tank.

The adverse effects of alcohol are more severe with methanol and are worse with increasing content of alcohol.

POWER TRIM AND TILT

Y our outboard has a trim/tilt control called “Power T rim.” This enables the operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the trim switch (a). Moving the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming “in” or “down.” Moving the outboard further away from the boat transom is called trimming “out” or “up.” The term “trim” generally refers to the adjustment of the outboard within the first 205 range of travel (b). This is the range used while operating your boat on plane. The term “tilt” is generally used when referring to adjusting the outboard further up out of the water (c). With the engine turned off, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard can also be tilted up past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water operation.

osf1

POWER TRIM OPERATION

With most boats, operating around the middle of the “trim” range will give satisfactory results. However, to take full advantage of the trimming capability there may be times when you choose to trim your outboard all the way in or out. Along with an improvement in some performance aspects comes a greater responsibility for the operator, and this is being aware of some potential control hazards.

The most significant control hazard is a pull or “torque” that can be felt on the steering wheel or tiller handle. This steering torque results from the outboard being trimmed so that the propeller shaft is not parallel to the water surface.

WARNING

Avoid possible serious injury or death. When the outboard is trimmed in or out beyond a neutral steering condition, a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle in either direction may result. Failure to keep a continuous firm grip on the steering wheel or tiller handle when this condition exists can result in loss of boat control as the outboard can turn freely. The boat can now “spin out” or go into a very tight maximum turn which, if unexpected, can result in occupants being thrown within the boat or out of the boat.

Consider the following lists carefully. Trimming In or Down Can:

1. Lower the bow.

2. Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load or a stern heavy boat.

3. Generally improve the ride in choppy water.

4. Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the normal right hand rotation propeller).

5. In excess, lower the bow of some boats to a point at which they begin to plow with their bow in the water while on plane. This can result in an unexpected turn in either direction called “bow steering” or “over steering” if any turn is attempted, or if a significant wave is encountered.

Page 20

90-10128R40

FEATURES & CONTROLS

POWER TRIM OPERATION (CONTINUED)

WARNING

Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an intermediate trim position as soon as boat is on plane to avoid possible ejection due to boat spin-out. Do not attempt to turn boat when on plane if outboard is trimmed extremely in or down and there is a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle.

6. In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless steel tilt pin (Part Number 17-49930A1) from your dealer and inserting it in whatever adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. The non-stainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in this application other than on a temporary basis.

Trimming Out or Up can:

1. Lift the bow higher out of the water .

2. Generally increase top speed.

3. Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.

4. Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal installation height (with the normal right hand rotation propeller).

5. In excess, cause boat “porpoising” (bouncing) or propeller ventilation.

6. Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes are above the waterline.

MANUAL TILTING

If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can be manually tilted.

1 Turn out the manual tilt release valve 3 turns (counterclockwise). This allows

manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard to the desired position and tighten the manual tilt release valve.

Note: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up during reverse operation.

OPERATING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES

When using your outboard or having your outboard moored in freezing or near freezing temperature, keep the outboard tilted down at all times so the gear case is submerged. This prevents trapped water in gear case from freezing and causing possible damage to the water pump and other components.

If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the outboard should be removed and drained completely of water. If ice should form at the water level inside the outboard drive shaft housing, it will block water flow to the engine causing possible damage.

one3

OPERATING IN SALT WATER OR POLLUTED WATER

We recommend that you flush the internal water passages of your outboard with fresh water after each use in salt or polluted water. This will prevent a buildup of deposits from clogging the water passages. Refer to “Flushing The Cooling System” procedure in the Maintenance Section.

If you keep your boat moored in the water, always tilt the outboard so the gear case is completely out of water (except in freezing temperature) when not in use.

Wash down the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of the propeller and gear case with fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces (do not spray on corrosion control anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness of the anodes).

onb7

OPERATING AT HIGH ELEVATIONS

Your engine automatically compensates for high elevation changes. A propeller with a di fferent pitch may be required to help reduce the normal performance loss experienced as a result of reduced oxygen in the air. Consult your dealer.

og124

onn1

SETTING TRIM ANGLE WHILE RUNNING ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED

1 Submerging the exhaust relief hole (a) on the outboard can happen on some

boats if you trim the outboard “full-in” while running the engine at idle speed. This will cause an exhaust restriction, resulting in rough idle, excessive smoke, and fouled spark plugs. If this condition exists, trim outboard up until exhaust relief hole is out of the water (b).

onk2

OPERATING IN SHALLOW WATER 2

When operating your boat in shallow water, you can tilt the outboard beyond the maximum trim range to prevent hitting bottom.

a. Reduce engine speed below 2000 RPM. b. Tilt outboard up. Make sure all the cooling water intake holes stay

submerged at all times.

c. Operate the engine at slow speed only. If engine speed exceeds 2000

RPM, the outboard will automatically return down to the maximum trim range.

ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

CAUTION

Severe damage to the engine can result by not complying with the Engine Break-in Procedure.

GASOLINE/OIL BREAK–IN MIXTURE

Do not use pre–mixed gas and oil during break–in. Oil from the oil injection system will supply adequate lubrication during engine break–in.

Break-in Procedure First hour

• Allow engine to warm-up for 30-60 seconds.

• Avoid continuous operation at idle speed for more then ten minutes.

• Run the engine the majority of time between 3000 and 4500 RPM

approximately three quarter throttle.

• Vary engine speed; change engine speed approximately every 2 minutes.

• Avoid trimming the outboard out (up) beyond a vertical trim position during

operation.

• Short bursts of full throttle for periods up to 10 seconds are acceptable.

Next three hours

• Change engine speed every 10 minutes.

* Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to always drive in a safe manner. Improper trim angle of the outboard when driving at speed can be difficult and dangerous. The purpose of specifying trim angle is to help guide the operator in determining how to put the proper load on the engine. They are intended to be guidelines and do not suggest or require unsafe boat operation.

STARTING THE ENGINE (CONTINUED)

Note: It is not necessary to use the neutral fast idle speed feature on the remote control to increase engine speed for starting and warm up. The electronic starting system will automatically increase idle speed for starting and will reduce it as the engine warms up.The engine does not require you to actuate the primer (choke) for starting. The electronic starting system will automatically prime the engine.

6 Turn the ignition key to START position. Release the key when engine starts.

If engine fails to start in 10 seconds, return the key to ON position, wait 30 seconds and try again.

7 Check for a steady stream of water flowing out of the water pump indicator

hole.

IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop engine and check cooling water intake holes for obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine damage.

LUBRICATION POINTS (CONTINUED)

WARNING

The end of the steering cable must be fully retracted into the outboard tilt tube before adding lubricant. Adding lubricant to steering cable when fully extended could cause steering cable to become hydraulically locked. An hydraulically locked steering cable will cause loss of steering control, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.

7 Steering Cable Grease Fitting (If Equipped) – Rotate steering wheel to fully

retract the steering cable end (a) into the outboard tilt tube. Lubricate through fitting (b).

Lubricate Points 7 With Light Weight Oil.

8 Steering Link Rod Pivot Points – Lubricate pivot points.

GEAR CASE LUBRICATION

When adding or changing gear case lubricant, visually check for the presence of water in the lubricant. If water is present, it may have settled to the bottom and will drain out prior to the lubricant, or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving it a milky colored appearance. If water is noticed, have the gear case checked by your dealer .Water in the lubricant may result in premature bearing failure or, in freezing temperatures, will turn to ice and damage the gear case.

Examine the d r ained gear case lubricant for metal particles. A small amount of fine metal particles indicates normal gear wear. An excessive amount of metal filings or larger particles (chips) may indicate abnormal gear wear and should be checked by an authorized dealer.

Draining Gear Case

1 Place outboard in a vertical operating position. 2 Place drain pan below outboard. 3 Remove vent plug and fill/drain plug and drain lubricant.

STORAGE PREPARA TION

The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to protect it from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by freezing of trapped water.

The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage (two months or longer).

CAUTION

oib11

Fuel system

IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or methanol) can cause a formation of acid during storage and can damage the fuel system. If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as much of the remaining gasoline as possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel line, and engine fuel system.

Fill the fuel system (tank, hoses, fuel pump, and carburetor) with treated (stabilized) fuel to help prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed with following instructions.

1. Portable Fuel Tank – Pour the required amount of Gasoline Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.

2. Permanently Installed Fuel Tank – Pour the required amount of Gasoline Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into a separate container and mix with approximately one quart (one liter) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel tank.

3. Place the outboard in water or connect flushing attachment for circulating cooling water. Run the engine for ten minutes to allow treated fuel to reach the carburetor.

oid14

Protecting Internal Engine Components

Note: Make sure the fuel system has been prepared for storage. Refer to Fuel System on previous page.

1. Remove the spark plugs and add approximately one ounce (30 ml) of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Rotate the flywheel manually several times to distribute the oil in the cylinders. Reinstall spark plugs.

2. Remove the water separating fuel filter and empty contents in a suitable container. Refer to Maintenance Section for removal and installation of filter. Replace fuel filter annually, or every 100 hours of operation, or if large amount of fuel contamination is present.

oic4

Protecting External Outboard Components

3. Lubricate all outboard components listed in the Inspection and Maintenance Schedule.

4. Touch up any paint nicks. See your dealer for touch-up paint.

5. Spray Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces (except corrosion control anodes).

oie1

Gear Case

1. Drain and refill the gear case lubricant (refer to maintenance procedure).

oif3

Positioning Outboard for Storage

Store outboard in an upright (vertical) position to allow water to drain out of outboard.

CAUTION

If outboard is stored tilted up in freezing temperature, trapped cooling water or rain water that may have entered the propeller exhaust outlet in the gear case could freeze and cause damage to the outboard.

oig1

Battery Storage

1. Follow the battery manufacturers instructions for storage and recharging.

2. Remove the battery from the boat and check water level. Recharge if necessary.

3. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
