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. Be sure at least one additional person onboard is instructed in the basics of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is unable to operate the boat.
GENERAL INFORMATION Boat Horsepower Capacity ! WARNING Exceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause serious injury or death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat control and flotation characteristics or break the transom. Do not install an engine that exceeds the boat's maximum power rating. Do not overpower or overload your boat.
GENERAL INFORMATION The lanyard is a cord usually between 1220 and 1524 mm (4 and 5 feet) 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 to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects.
GENERAL INFORMATION 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 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. 21604 Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
GENERAL INFORMATION Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning which should not be confused with seasickness or intoxication, include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. ! WARNING Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Keep the boat well ventilated while at rest or underway and avoid prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide. GOOD VENTILATION Ventilate passenger area, open side curtains or forward hatches to remove fumes.
GENERAL INFORMATION WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY a b 21626 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 a b 21628 a - Running the boat with the trim angle of the bow too high b - Running the boat with no forward hatches open Selecting Accessories for Your Outboard Genuine Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Accessories have been specifically designed and tested for your outboard.
GENERAL INFORMATION Safe Boating 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).
GENERAL INFORMATION 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 operator's view when operating the boat above idle speed. Never drive your boat directly behind a water‑skier in case the skier falls.
GENERAL INFORMATION Recording Serial Number It is important to record this number for future reference.

INSTALLATION Installing Outboard BOAT TRANSOM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT 1. Measure the transom height of your boat. The anti‑ventilation plate should be 25 ‑ 50 mm (1 ‑ 2 in.) below the bottom of the boat. a - Anti‑ventilation plate a 28376 INSTALLING OUTBOARD ON TRANSOM 1. Place outboard on center line of transom. 27005 2. Tighten transom clamp handles.
TRANSPORTING Carrying Outboard The outboard has a carrying handle located in front. 28379 Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat IMPORTANT: Ensure the proper procedures are followed for transportation and storage of the outboard to avoid the possibility of oil leaks. 1. With the outboard still in the water, close the fuel shut‑off valve and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from the carburetor. Remove outboard from the boat and hold upright until all cooling water is drained out. 2.
TRANSPORTING If additional ground clearance is required, remove the outboard from the boat and store securely. Additional clearance may be needed for railroad crossings, driveways, and trailer bouncing. Side shift models ‑ Set the gear shift into forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
FUEL AND OIL 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 RATINGS Mercury Marine engines will operate satisfactorily when using a major brand of unleaded gasoline meeting the following specifications: USA and Canada ‑ having a posted pump Octane Rating of 87 (R +M)/2 minimum.
FUEL AND OIL The fuel system components on your Mercury Marine engine will withstand up to 10% alcohol content in the gasoline. We do not know what percentage your boat's fuel system will withstand. Contact your boat manufacturer for specific recommendations on the boat's fuel system components (fuel tanks, fuel lines, and fittings).
FUEL AND OIL Oil Recommendation Recommended Oil Mercury or Quicksilver Premium 2-Cycle TC-W3 Outboard Oil IMPORTANT: Oil must be NMMA certified TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil. Mercury or Quicksilver Premium TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is recommended for this engine. For added protection and lubrication, Mercury or Quicksilver Premium Plus TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is recommended. If Mercury or Quicksilver outboard oil is not available, substitute another brand of 2‑cycle outboard oil that is NMMA Certified TC‑W3.
FUEL AND OIL Filling Fuel Tank ! WARNING Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Use caution when filling fuel tanks. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks. Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Always stop engine before refilling tanks. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel will expand in volume as its temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.
