ON THE WATER 0022 Safe Boating Suggestions In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and all other governmental boating regulations and restrictions and also consider the following suggestions. • Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways. Mercury MerCruiser strongly recommends that all powerboat operators complete a boating safety course. Courses are offered in the U.S.A. by: The U.S.
ON THE WATER • Watch for signs of weather change and avoid foul weather and rough-sea boating. • Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. • Passenger boarding. Stop the engine whenever passengers are boarding, unloading or are near the back (stern) of the boat. Shifting the drive unit into neutral is not sufficient. • Use personal flotation devices. Federal Law requires that there be a U. S.
ON THE WATER • Know your boating area and avoid hazardous locations. • 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 or planing transition speed. Watch out for others, the water and your wake.
ON THE WATER 0024.01 GOOD VENTILATION Ventilate the passenger area by opening the side curtains or forward hatches to remove fumes. mc79553 Courtesy of ABYC Example of desired air flow through the boat 0025.01 POOR VENTILATION Under certain 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.
ON THE WATER 0026 Basic Boat Operation 0027.1 Launching And Boat Operation Care CAUTION To avoid possible ingestion of water that can damage engine components: • Do NOT turn the ignition key off when the engine is above idle speed. When launching your boat from a steep ramp, enter the water slowly. • Do NOT use the lanyard stop switch to shut off the engine above idle speed.
ON THE WATER 0028.05 OPERATION CHART Operation Chart BEFORE STARTING AFTER STARTING WHILE UNDERWAY Observe all gauges to check condition of engine. If not normal, stop engine. Observe all gauges Turn ignition key to to check condition OFF position. of engine. If not normal, stop engine. Open engine hatch. Check for fuel, oil, water, fluid and exhaust leaks. Listen for the audio alarm. Turn battery switch ON. Check shift and throttle control operation. Operate bilge blowers.
ON THE WATER 0029.03 Starting And Stopping The Engine NOTE: Only perform those functions applicable to your power package. 1. Check all items listed in Operation Chart. CAUTION Overheating from insufficient cooling water will cause engine and drive system damage. Ensure that there is sufficient water always available at water inlet holes during operation. WARNING Explosive gasoline fumes collect in the engine compartment.
ON THE WATER 0173 Starting Engine After Stopped While In Gear IMPORTANT: Avoid stopping the engine if the sterndrive unit is in gear. If the engine does stop, refer to the following procedure: 1. Push and pull repeatedly on the remote control handle until handle returns to the NEUTRAL/IDLE position. This may take several tries if the power package was operating above idle rpm when the engine stopped. 2. After the handle returns to the NEUTRAL/IDLE position, resume normal starting procedures.
ON THE WATER 0032 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) in NEUTRAL/IDLE, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate.
ON THE WATER 0131.02 Passenger Safety Message - Pontoon And Deck Boats WARNING Avoid serious injury or death from falling over the front end of a pontoon or deck boat and coming in contact with the boat hull or propeller. Stay back from the front end of the deck and remain seated while the boat is in motion. 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.
ON THE WATER 0034.01 Wave And Wake Jumping mc79675 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 a boat hand hold. Operating recreational boats over waves and wakes is a natural part of boating.
ON THE WATER 0035.02 Impact With Underwater Hazards mc79680 Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you’re driving a boat in shallow water or in areas where the waters are suspected of having underwater obstacles that could be struck by the underwater drive components, rudder or the boat bottom. IMPORTANT: The most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a floating or underwater object is control the boat speed.
ON THE WATER 0132 Drive Unit Impact Protection The power trim hydraulic system is designed to provide impact protection for the sterndrive unit. If a submerged object is struck while the boat is moving forward, the hydraulic system will cushion the kickup of the sterndrive unit as it clears the object, reducing damage to the unit.
ON THE WATER 0038 Cavitation Cavitation occurs when water flow cannot follow the contour of a fast-moving underwater object, such as a gear housing or a propeller. Cavitation permits the propeller to speed up, but the boat speed to reduce. Cavitation can seriously erode the surface of the gear housing or the propeller.
ON THE WATER 0040.01 Propeller Selection It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer and/or the selling dealer to equip the power package with the correct propeller. Refer to Everything You Need To Know About Propellers (90-8614492). Select a propeller that will allow the engine power package to operate at or near the top end of the recommended WOT operating rpm range with a normal load.
ON THE WATER 0042 Getting Started 0041 20-Hour Break-In Period IMPORTANT: The first 20 hours of operation is the engine break-in period. Correct break-in is essential to obtain minimum oil consumption and maximum engine performance. During this break-in period, the following rules must be observed: • Do NOT operate below 1500 rpm for extended periods of time for the first 10 hours.
