CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO OBTAIN WARRANTY
COVERAGE: Warranty coverage is available only to retail customers that
purchase from a Dealer authorized by Mercury Marine to distribute the product
in the country in which the sale occurred, and then only after the Mercury
Marine specified predelivery inspection process is completed and documented.
Warranty coverage becomes available upon proper registration of the product
by the authorized dealer. Corrosion prevention devices specified in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual must be in use on the boat, and routine
maintenance outlined in the Operation and Maintenance Manual must be timely
performed (including, without limitation, the replacement of sacrificial anodes,
use of specified lubricants, and touch‑up of nicks and scratches) in order to
maintain warranty coverage. Mercury Marine reserves the right to make
warranty coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
WHAT MERCURY WILL DO: Mercury Marine's sole and exclusive obligation
under this warranty is limited to, at our option, repairing a corroded part,
replacing such part or parts with new or Mercury Marine certified
remanufactured parts, or refunding the purchase price of the Mercury Marine
product. Mercury Marine reserves the right to improve or modify products from
time to time without assuming an obligation to modify products previously
manufactured.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE: The customer must provide
Mercury Marine with a reasonable opportunity to repair, and reasonable access
to the product for warranty service. Warranty claims shall be made by
delivering the product for inspection to a Mercury Marine dealer authorized to
service the product. If the purchaser cannot deliver the product to such a
dealer, written notice must be given to Mercury Marine. Mercury Marine will
then arrange for the inspection and any covered repair. The purchaser, in that
case, shall pay for all related transportation charges and travel time. If the
service provided is not covered by this warranty, the purchaser shall pay for all
related labor and material, and any other expenses associated with that
service. The purchaser shall not, unless requested by Mercury Marine, ship the
product or parts of the product directly to Mercury Marine. Proof of registered
ownership must be presented to the dealer at the time warranty service is
requested in order to obtain coverage.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED: This limited warranty does not cover electrical
system corrosion; corrosion resulting from damage, corrosion which causes
purely cosmetic damage, abuse, or improper service; corrosion to accessories,
instruments, steering systems; corrosion to factory installed jet drive unit;
damage due to marine growth; product sold with less than a one year limited
Product warranty; replacement parts (parts purchased by customer); products
used in a commercial application. Commercial use is defined as any work or
employment related use of the product, or any use of the product which
generates income, for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is
only occasionally used for such purposes.

Corrosion damage caused by stray electrical currents (onshore power
connections, nearby boats, submerged metal) is not covered by this corrosion
warranty and should be protected against by the use of a corrosion protection
system, such as the Mercury Precision Parts or Quicksilver MerCathode
system and/or Galvanic Isolator. Corrosion damage caused by improper
application of copper base antifouling paints is also not covered by this limited
warranty. If antifouling protection is required, Tri‑Butyl‑Tin‑Adipate (TBTA) base
antifouling paints are recommended on Outboard and MerCruiser boating
applications. In areas where TBTA base paints are prohibited by law, copper
base paints can be used on the hull and transom. Do not apply paint to the
Outboard or MerCruiser product. In addition, care must be taken to avoid an
electrical interconnection between the warranted product and the paint. For
MerCruiser product, an unpainted gap of at least 38 mm (1.5 in.) should be left
around the transom assembly. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
for additional details.
For additional information regarding events and circumstances covered by this
warranty, and those that are not, see the Warranty Coverage section of the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, incorporated by reference into this
warranty.

California Emissions Limited WarrantyCalifornia Emissions Limited Warranty
The California Air Resources Board has promulgated air emission regulations
for outboard engines. The regulations apply to all outboard engines sold to
retail consumers in California, and which were manufactured for the 2001
model year and later. Mercury Marine, in compliance with those regulations,
provides this limited warranty for the emission control systems (see the
components listed in the ), andEmission Control System Components
further warrants that the outboard engine was designed, built, and equipped to
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources
Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the
Health and Safety Code. For information regarding the limited warranty for the
nonemission‑related components of the outboard, please see the limited
warranty statement for your outboard.
WHAT IS COVERED: Mercury Marine warrants the components of the
emissions control systems (see the components listed in the Emission Control
System Components) of its new, 2001 model year and later outboards, sold
by a California dealer to retail customers residing in California, to be free from
defects in material or workmanship, that cause the failure of a warranted part to
be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the application of
Mercury Marine for certification from the California Air Resources Board, for the
period of time, and under the conditions, identified below. The cost to diagnose
a warranty failure is covered under the warranty (if the warranty claim is
approved). Damage to other engine components caused by the failure of a
warranted part will also be repaired under warranty.

components of the emissions control systems of new, 2001 model year and
later outboards, sold to retail customers in California for four (4) years from
either the date the product is first sold, or first put into service, whichever
occurs first, or the accumulation of 250 hours of engine operation (as
determined by the engine's hour meter, if any). Emission‑related normal

under this warranty is limited to, at our expense and at our option, repairing or
replacing defective parts with new or Mercury Marine certified remanufactured
parts, or refunding the purchase price of the Mercury product. Mercury reserves

replacement of boat partitions or material caused by boat design for access to
the product are not covered by this warranty.
Nonwarranty maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any marine engine repair establishment or
individual. The use of non‑Mercury parts for nonwarranty maintenance or
repairs will not be grounds for disallowing other warranty work. The use of
add‑on (as defined at section 1900 (b)(1) and (b)(10) of Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations) or modified parts not exempted by the
California Air Resources Board may be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim, at the discretion of Mercury Marine. Failures of warranted parts caused
by the use of a nonexempted add‑on or modified part will not be covered.

For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a
propeller that allows the engine to operate in the upper half of the
recommended full throttle RPM range with the boat normally loaded (refer to
General Information Specifications
). This RPM range allows for better
acceleration while maintaining maximum boat speed.
22551
If changing conditions cause the RPM to drop below the recommended range,
such as warmer, more humid weather, operation at higher elevations,
increased boat load, or a dirty boat bottom/gearcase, a propeller change or
cleaning may be required to maintain performance and ensure the outboards
durability.
Check full‑throttle RPM, using an accurate tachometer, with the engine trimmed
out to a balanced‑steering condition (steering effort equal in both directions)
without causing the propeller to break loose.

Lanyard Stop Switch
Lanyard Stop Switch
Lanyard Stop Switch
Lanyard Stop SwitchLanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and
some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to
attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device (PFD) or wrist.
The lanyard cord is usually 122–152 cm (4–5 feet) in length when stretched out,
with an element on one end made to be inserted into the switch and a clip on
the other end for attaching to the operator's PFD or wrist. The lanyard is coiled
to make its at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of
lanyard entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out length is made to
minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the operator choose to
move around in an area close to the normal operator's position. If it is desired
to have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator's wrist or leg,
or tie a knot in the lanyard.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATIONGENERAL INFORMATION
eng 25
Important Safety Information: The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop
the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's
position to activate the switch. This would occur if the operator accidentally falls
overboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator's
position. Falling overboard and accidental ejections are more likely to occur in
certain types of boats such as low sided inflatables, bass boats, high
performance boats, and light, sensitive handling fishing boats operated by a
hand tiller. Falling overboard and accidental ejections are also likely to occur as
a result of poor operating practices such as sitting on the back of the seat or
gunwale at planing speeds, standing at planing speeds, sitting on elevated
fishing boat decks, operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle infested
waters, releasing your grip on a steering wheel or tiller handle that is pulling in
one direction, drinking alcohol or consuming drugs, or daring high speed boat
maneuvers.
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.
We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper starting
and operating procedures should they be required to operate the engine in an
emergency (if the operator is accidentally ejected).

the engine and stop it by pulling the lanyard cord. If the engine does not stop,
have the switch repaired before operating the boat.
Before each use, visually inspect the lanyard cord to ensure it is in good
working condition and that there are no breaks, cuts, or wear to the cord.
Check that the clips on the ends of the cord are in good condition. Replace any
damaged or worn lanyard cords.

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.
Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is in neutral
position, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to cause the
propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can cause serious injury.

Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do not
allow any passengers to stand or use seats other than those designated for
traveling faster than idle speed. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as
plunging into a large wave or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp
change of boat direction, could throw them over the front of the boat. Falling
over the front of the boat between the two pontoons will position them to be run
over by the outboard.

No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the boat is in
motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or enclosure.
Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or persons
dangling their feet over the front edge could get their legs caught by a wave
and pulled into the water.

Wave and Wake Jumping
Wave and Wake Jumping
Wave and Wake Jumping
Wave and Wake JumpingWave and Wake Jumping
Operating recreational boats over waves and wake is a natural part of boating.
However, when this activity is done with sufficient speed to force the boat hull
partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when
the boat enters the water.
26784
The primary concern is the boat changing direction while in the midst of the
jump. In such case, the landing may cause the boat to veer violently in a new
direction. Such a sharp change in direction can cause occupants to be thrown
out of their seats, or out of the boat.

There is another less common hazardous result from allowing your boat to
launch off a wave or wake. If the bow of your boat pitches down far enough
while airborne, upon water contact it may penetrate under the water surface
and submarine for an instant. This will bring the boat to a nearly instantaneous
stop and can send the occupants flying forward. The boat may also steer
sharply to one side.

Impact with Underwater Hazards
Impact with Underwater Hazards
Impact with Underwater Hazards
Impact with Underwater HazardsImpact with Underwater Hazards
Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a boat in shallow
water areas, or in areas where you suspect underwater obstacles may exist
which could be struck by the outboard or the boat bottom. The most important
thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a
floating or underwater object is to control the boat speed. Under these
conditions, boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing speed of
24 to 40 km/h (15 to 25 mph).
26785
Striking a floating or underwater object could result in an infinite number of
situations. Some of these situations could result in the following:
Part of the outboard or the entire outboard could break loose and fly into
the boat.
The boat could move suddenly in a new direction. Such a sharp change in
direction can cause occupants to be thrown out of their seats or out of the
boat.
A rapid reduction in speed. This will cause occupants to be thrown
forward, or even out of the boat.
Impact damage to the outboard and/or boat.
Keep in mind, the most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or
impact damage during an impact is control the boat speed. Boat speed should
be kept to a minimum planing speed when driving in waters known to have
underwater obstacles.
After striking a submerged object, stop the engine as soon as possible and
inspect it for any broken or loose parts. If damage is present or suspected, the
outboard should be taken to an authorized dealer for a thorough inspection and
necessary repair.
The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures, transom fractures, or
water leaks.
Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to other parts
of the outboard, or could affect control of the boat. If continued running is
necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that is present in the exhaust fumes of
all internal combustion engines, including the engines that propel boats, and
the generators that power boat accessories. By itself, CO is odorless, colorless,
and tasteless, but if you can smell or taste engine exhaust, you are inhaling
CO.
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which are similar to the
symptoms of seasickness and intoxication, include headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and nausea.

Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. Avoid areas of
concentrated engine exhaust gases. When engines are running, keep
swimmers away from the boat, and do not sit, lie, or stand on swim platforms or
boarding ladders. While underway, do not allow passengers to be positioned
immediately behind the boat (platform dragging, teak/body surfing). This
dangerous practice not only places a person in an area of high engine exhaust
concentration, but also subjects them to the possibility of injury from the boat
propeller.

To safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and all other
governmental boating regulations and restrictions and consider the following
suggestions.
Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways.
We recommend that all powerboat operators complete a boating safety
course. In the U.S., the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron,
the Red Cross, and your state or provincial boating law enforcement
agency provide courses. For more information in the U.S., call the Boat
U.S. Foundation at 1‑800‑336‑BOAT (2628).
Perform safety checks and required maintenance.
Follow a regular schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made.
Check safety equipment onboard.
Here are some suggestions of the types of safety equipment to carry
when boating:
Approved fire extinguishers
Signal devices: flashlight, rockets or flares, flag, and whistle or horn
Tools necessary for minor repairs

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. Coast Guard‑approved life
jacket (personal flotation device), correctly sized and readily accessible
for every person onboard, plus a throwable cushion or ring. We strongly
advise that everyone wear a life jacket at all times while in the boat.
Prepare other boat operators.
Instruct at least one person onboard in the basics of starting and
operating the engine and boat handling in case the driver becomes
disabled or falls overboard.
Do not overload your boat.
Most boats are rated and certified for maximum load (weight) capacities
(refer to your boat's capacity plate). Know your boat's operating and
loading limitations. Know if your boat will float if it is full of water. When in
doubt, contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer or the boat
manufacturer.
Ensure that everyone in the boat is properly seated.
Do not allow anyone to sit or ride on any part of the boat that was not
intended for such use. This includes the backs of seats, gunwales,
transom, bow, decks, raised fishing seats, and any rotating fishing seat.
Passengers should not sit or ride anywhere that sudden unexpected
acceleration, sudden stopping, unexpected loss of boat control, or sudden
boat movement could cause a person to be thrown overboard or into the
boat. Ensure that all passengers have a proper seat and are in it before
any boat movement.
Never operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is
the law.
Alcohol or drugs can impair your judgment and greatly reduce your ability
to react quickly.
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 operator's view when the boat is above idle or planing transition
speed. Watch out for others, the water, and your wake.
Never drive your boat directly behind a water skier.
Your boat traveling at 40 km/h (25 mph) will overtake a fallen skier who is
61 m (200 ft) in front of you in five seconds.
Watch fallen skiers.
When using your boat for waterskiing or similar activities, always keep a
fallen or down skier on the operator's side of the boat while returning to
attend to the skier. The operator should always have the down skier in
sight and never back up to the skier or anyone in the water.
Report accidents.
Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident report with
their state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in
certain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if 1) there
is loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring
medical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or other
property where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there is
complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law
enforcement.

This type of gasoline is required in certain areas of the USA. The 2 types of
oxygenates used in these fuels are Alcohol (Ethanol) or Ether (MTBE or

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOLGASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If the gasoline in your area contains either methanol (methyl alcohol) or ethanol
(ethyl alcohol), you should be aware of certain adverse effects that can occur.
These adverse effects are more severe with methanol. Increasing the
percentage of alcohol in the fuel can also worsen these adverse effects.
Some of these adverse effects are caused because the alcohol in the gasoline
can absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a separation of the water/alcohol
from the gasoline in the fuel tank.
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). Be aware that gasolines containing alcohol may cause increased:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires portable fuel systems
that are produced after January 1, 2011, for use with outboard engines to
remain fully sealed (pressurized) up to 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). These tanks may
contain the following:
An air inlet that opens to allow air to enter as the fuel is drawn out of the
tank.
An air outlet that opens (vents) to the atmosphere if pressure exceeds
34.4 kPa (5.0 psi).
Fuel Demand Valve (FDV) Requirement
Fuel Demand Valve (FDV) Requirement
Fuel Demand Valve (FDV) Requirement
Fuel Demand Valve (FDV) RequirementFuel Demand Valve (FDV) Requirement
Whenever a pressurized fuel tank is used, a fuel demand valve is required to
be installed in the fuel hose between the fuel tank and the engine. The fuel
demand valve prevents pressurized fuel from entering the engine and causing
a fuel system overflow or possible fuel spillage.
The fuel demand valve has a manual release. The manual release can be used
(pushed in) to open (bypass) the valve in case of a fuel blockage in the valve.

The fuel tank has a two‑way valve which allows air to enter the tank as
the fuel is drawn to the engine, and also opens to vent to the atmosphere
if internal pressure in the tank exceeds 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). A hissing noise
may be heard as the tank vents to the atmosphere. This is normal.
The fuel tank includes a fuel demand valve that prevents pressurized fuel
from entering the engine and causing a fuel system overflow or possible
fuel spillage.
When installing the fuel tank cap, turn the cap to the right until you hear a
click. This signals that the fuel cap is fully seated. A built‑in device
prevents overtightening.
The fuel tank has a manual vent screw which should be closed for
transportation and open for operation and cap removal.

Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian system may engage
and protect the engine by limiting power. You should return to port
immediately and contact your servicing dealer.
2. Intermittent short beeps for six seconds: Indicates a noncritical engine
condition. This condition does not require immediate attention. You may
continue using your boat, however, depending on the nature of the
problem, the engine’s power may be limited by the Engine Guardian
system (see following) to protect the engine.Engine Guardian System
You should contact your servicing dealer at your earliest convenience.
It is important to note that in either of the above scenarios, the horn will only
sound one time. If you key the engine off and restart it, the horn will sound
again, one time, if the fault is still present. For visual display of the specific
engine functions and additional engine data, refer to SmartCraft Product
information, following.
A few of the noncritical conditions indicated by the intermittent short beeps for
six seconds can be corrected by the operator. These operator correctable
conditions are as follows:
Water in the engine mounted fuel filter. Refer to Maintenance – Water
Separating Fuel Filter.
Cooling system (water pressure or engine temperature) problem. Stop the
engine and check the water intake holes in the lower unit for obstruction.
Low engine oil level. Refer to Fuel and Oil – Checking and Adding

ENGINE GUARDIAN SYSTEMENGINE GUARDIAN SYSTEM
The Engine Guardian system monitors the critical sensors on the engine for
any early indications of problems. Engine Guardian is functional whenever your
engine is operating, so you never have to be concerned about whether or not
you are protected. The system will respond to a problem by sounding the
warning horn for six seconds and/or reducing engine power in order to provide
engine protection.
If Engine Guardian has been activated, reduce the engine speed. The problem
will need to be identified and corrected. The system must be reset before the
engine will operate at higher speeds. Moving the throttle lever back to the idle
position will reset the Engine Guardian system. If the Engine Guardian system
has determined the reset has not corrected the problem, Engine Guardian will
remain activated, limiting the throttle. The problem must be identified and
corrected before Engine Guardian will allow the engine to reach a normal
operating RPM.

Power Trim and Tilt

Power Trim and Tilt
Power Trim and TiltPower Trim and Tilt
The outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This enables the operator
to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the trim switch. Moving
the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming in or down. Moving
the outboard further away from the boat transom is called trimming out or up.
The term trim generally refers to the adjustment of the outboard within the first
20° range of travel. This is the range used while operating the boat on plane.
The term tilt is generally used when referring to adjusting the outboard further
up out of the water. With the engine turned off and ignition switch turned on, the
outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard can also
be tilted up past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water operation.

POWER TRIM OPERATIONPOWER TRIM OPERATION
With most boats, operating around the middle of the trim range will give
satisfactory results. However, to take full advantage of the trimming capability
there may be times when you choose to trim your outboard all the way in or
out. Along with an improvement in some performance aspects comes a greater
responsibility for the operator, and this is being aware of some potential control
hazards.
The most significant control hazard is a pull or torque that can be felt on the
steering wheel or tiller handle. This steering torque results from the outboard
being trimmed so the propeller shaft is not parallel to the water surface.

Consider the following lists carefully.
1. Trimming in or down can:
Lower the bow.
Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load or a stern
heavy boat.
Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the normal right‑hand
rotation propeller.)
In excess, can lower the bow of some boats to a point where they
begin to plow with their bow in the water while on plane. This can
result in an unexpected turn in either direction (called bow steering or
oversteering) if any turn is attempted, or if a significant wave is
encountered.

brackets is desired. The nonstainless steel shipping bolt should not be
used in this application other than on a temporary basis.
2. Trimming out or up can:
Lift the bow higher out of the water.
Generally increase top speed.
Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.
Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal installation

When using your outboard or having your outboard moored in freezing or near
freezing temperatures, keep the outboard tilted down at all times so the
gearcase is submerged. This prevents the trapped water in the gearcase from
freezing and causing possible damage to the water pump and other
components.
If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the outboard should be
removed and drained completely of water. If ice should form at the water level
inside the outboard driveshaft housing, it will block water flow to the engine
causing possible damage.

We recommend that you flush the internal water passages of your outboard
with fresh water after each use in salt or polluted water. This will prevent a
buildup of deposits from clogging the water passages. Refer to Maintenance
Flushing the Cooling System.
If you keep your boat moored in the water, always tilt the outboard so the
gearcase is completely out of water (except in freezing temperatures) when not
in use.
Wash the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of the propeller and
gearcase with fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Mercury Precision
or Quicksilver Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces. Do not spray on
corrosion control anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness of the anodes.

Operating at High ElevationsOperating at High Elevations
Your engine automatically compensates for high elevation changes. A different
pitch propeller may help reduce some normal performance loss resulting from
reduced oxygen in the air. Consult your dealer.
Effects of Elevation and Weather on Performance
Effects of Elevation and Weather on Performance
Effects of Elevation and Weather on Performance
Effects of Elevation and Weather on PerformanceEffects of Elevation and Weather on Performance
The following conditions lower engine performance and cannot be
compensated by the engine fuel or electronic management systems:
Above sea level elevations
High temperature
Low barometric pressure
High humidity
These conditions above reduce air density to the engine, which in turn lowers
the following:
Boost pressure on supercharged engines
Horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range
Peak RPM
Cranking compression

EXAMPLE: An engine running at an elevation of 8,000 feet will have over a
30% power loss while a loss of engine power on a hot and humid day could be
as much as 14%. These losses apply to normally aspirated and supercharged
engines.
Compensating for power robbing conditions:
Switch to lower pitch propeller.
Change gear ratio.
Some boat performance can be improved by dropping to a lower pitch
propeller, but engine performance will still remain lower. In some cases, a gear
ratio reduction may be more beneficial. To optimize engine performance, prop
the engine to allow it to operate at or near the top end of the recommended
maximum RPM range at wide‑open throttle with a normal boat load.
Other advantages to propeller or gear ratio changes:
Reduces the possibility of detonation
Enhances overall reliability and durability of the engine

The exhaust relief hole on the outboard can become submerged on some
boats if the engine is trimmed full in while running at idle speed. This may result
in exhaust restriction, rough idle, excessive smoke, and fouled spark plugs. If
this condition exists, trim outboard up until exhaust relief hole is out of the
water.

Break in Procedure
Vary throttle settings during break in. Use the following suggestions.
First Hour
Allow the engine to warm‑up for 30–60 seconds.
Do not idle for more than five minutes.
Run the engine the majority of the time between 4000–5400 RPM
(approximately three‑quarter throttle).
Short bursts of wide‑open throttle for 10 seconds or less are acceptable.
Change the engine speed approximately every two minutes.
Avoid trimming the outboard out (up) beyond a vertical trim position
during operation.
Avoid using a hydraulic jack plate to raise the engine during the break‑in
cycle.
Next Three Hours: Change the engine speed every 10 minutes.
