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.
Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
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.
PORTABLE FUEL TANK PLACEMENT IN THE BOAT
Place the fuel tank in the boat so the vent is higher than the fuel
level under normal boat operating conditions.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Mercury Verado NMMA FC‑W certified synthetic blend 25W‑50
multi‑viscosity 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil is recommended for
general, all‑temperature use. As an optional choice, Mercury or
Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified synthetic 25W‑40
multi‑viscosity 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil may be used. If the
recommended Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified oils
are not available, a major brand of NMMA FC‑W certified
4‑Stroke Outboard Oil of similar viscosity may be used.
