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.

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 Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet
from your dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

Outboard Remote Control Models
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.
