Reading it should give you an understanding of the motor and its operation. 8 Before operating the boat, read any owner’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it and all labels. Be sure you understand each item before operating. 8 Do not overpower the boat with this outboard motor. Overpowering the boat could result in loss of control.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 10 E 8 Use common sense and good judgment when boating. Know your abilities, and be sure you understand how your boat handles under the different boating conditions you may encounter. Operate within your limits, and the limits of your boat. Always operate at safe speeds, and keep a careful watch for obstacles and other traffic. 8 Always watch carefully for swimmers during the engine operation. 8 Stay away from swimming areas.

60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 13 E EMU00015 BASIC BOATING RULES (Rules of the road) Just as there are rules which apply when you are driving on streets and high ways, there are waterway rules which apply when you are driving your boat. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 14 E RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING VESSELS one another if you continue on your set course and speed. There are three main situations which you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are followed: Meeting (you are approaching another vessel head-on) Crossing (you are traveling across the other vessel’s path) Overtaking (you are passing or being passed by another vessel) In the following illustration, your boat is in the center.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 15 E way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you. OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONS There are three other rules you should be aware of when driving your boat around other vessels. Narrow channels and bends When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so.

Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat. 8 Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. 8 Do not overfill the fuel tank. 8 Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 18 E EMU01804 GASOLINE Recommended gasoline: Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump Octane Number) = (R+M)/2 If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. EMU00027 Gasohol There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 19 E EMU01775 BATTERY REQUIREMENT cC Do not use a battery that does not meet the specified capacity. If a battery which does not meet specifications is used, the electric system could perform poorly or be overloaded, causing electric system damage. For electric start models, choose a battery which meets the following specifications. EMU01861 Minimum cold cranking amps (CCA/SAE): 512 amps at -18°C (-0.
60V-9-13-1 7/28/03 5:35 PM Page 20 E EMU01395 PROPELLER SELECTION The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, as an incorrect choice could adversely affect performance and could also seriously damage the motor. Engine speed depends on the propeller size and boat load. If engine speed is too high or too low for good engine performance, this will have an adverse effect on the engine.

(Failure to do this will shorten engine life.) Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling-water pilot hole. cC 309034 A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling passages.

60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 20 E EMU01412 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine. The correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 21 E ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU01657 Power Trim/Tilt Models w UP DN 8 Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the trim/tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and clamp bracket. 8 Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems.
60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 22 E EMU01916 q 001672 w 1 Optimum angle (level keel line) 2 Bow up 3 Bow down 001673 e 001674 3-21 Trim angle settings and boat handling When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer.
60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 23 E NOTE: Depending on the type of boat, the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of the boat when operating. EMU01200 TILTING UP/DOWN 001596 If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion. cC Before tilting the motor, follow the procedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 24 E EMU01575 PROCEDURE FOR TILTING UP Power trim and tilt models UP 1) DN 2) Disconnect the fuel line or close the fuel cock. Push the power trim and tilt switch “UP” until the outboard has tilted up completely. 001570 UP DN UP DN 701034 DN UP 000328 3) Turn the tilt support lever toward you to support the engine. w 8 After tilting the engine, be sure to support it with the tilt support lever.
60V-9-13-3 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 25 E EMU01576 4) Once the engine is supported with the tilt support lever, push the power trim and tilt switch “DN” (down) to retract the trim rods. cC Be sure to retract the trim rods completely during mooring. This protects the rods from marine growths and corrosion which could damage the power trim and tilt mechanism.

This is especially important for your oil injection-equipped outboard motor due to the lean oil ratios used at idle prior to shutting the engine off for the season.
60V-9-13-4 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 6 E EMU00338 Flushing Cooling System and Fogging Engine Cooling system flushing is essential to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fogging of the engine is mandatory to prevent expensive engine damage due to rust.

A damaged insulator could allow external sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire. The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine.
60V-9-13-4 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 13 E When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque. Spark plug torque: Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”, page 4-1. NOTE: If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the correct torque as soon as possible with a torque-wrench.

Lift up and hold the spring to screw the ring nut onto the filter housing until the ring is lightly seated. Tighten the ring nut approximately an additional 1/4 turn until the ring nut is tight. Align one of the four larger ring nut tabs with the spring and release it to lock the ring nut in position.
60V-9-13-4 7/28/03 5:37 PM Page 17 E A diagnostic tachometer should be used for this procedure. 1) Start the engine and allow it to warm up fully in neutral until it is running smoothly. If the outboard motor is mounted on a boat, be sure the boat is tightly moored. 2) Verify whether the idle speed is set to specification. For idle speed specifications, see “Specifications” in this chapter. NOTE: Correct idle speed inspection is only possible if the engine is fully warmed up.
