Boater's ResponsibilitiesThe operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of theboat and the safety of its occupants and general public. It is stronglyrecommended that each operator read and understand this entire manualbefore operating the outboard.Be sure that at least one additional person onboard is instructed in the basicsof starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver isunable to operate the boat.

Before Operating Your OutboardRead this manual carefully. Learn how to operate your outboard properly. If youhave any questions, contact your dealer.Safety and operating information that is practiced, along with using goodcommon sense, can help prevent personal injury and product damage.This manual as well as safety labels posted on the outboard use the followingsafety alerts to draw your attention to special safety instructions that should befollowed.

! DANGERIndicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death orserious injury.

! WARNINGIndicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death orserious injury.

! CAUTIONIndicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor ormoderate injury.

NOTICEIndicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in engine or majorcomponent failure.

Boat Horsepower Capacity

! WARNINGExceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause serious injuryor death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat control and flotationcharacteristics or break the transom. Do not install an engine that exceedsthe boat's maximum power rating.

GENERAL INFORMATION

eng 21

Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a requiredcapacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load asdetermined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt,contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.

Lanyard Stop SwitchThe purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operatormoves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejectionfrom the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards andsome remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyardstop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard orside adjacent to the operator's position.A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator toattach the lanyard to their personal flotation device (PFD) or wrist.

GENERAL INFORMATION

22 eng

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 onthe other end for attaching to the operator's PFD or wrist. The lanyard is coiledto make its at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood oflanyard entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out length is made tominimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the operator choose tomove around in an area close to the normal operator's position. If it is desiredto have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator's wrist or leg,or tie a knot in the lanyard.

a - Lanyard cord clipb - Lanyard decalc - Lanyard stop switch

Read the following Safety Information before proceeding.Important Safety Information: The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stopthe engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator'sposition to activate the switch. This would occur if the operator accidentally fallsoverboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator'sposition. Falling overboard and accidental ejections are more likely to occur incertain types of boats such as low sided inflatables, bass boats, highperformance boats, and light, sensitive handling fishing boats operated by ahand tiller. Falling overboard and accidental ejections are also likely to occur asa result of poor operating practices such as sitting on the back of the seat orgunwale at planing speeds, standing at planing speeds, sitting on elevatedfishing boat decks, operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle infestedwaters, releasing your grip on a steering wheel or tiller handle that is pulling inone direction, drinking alcohol or consuming drugs, or daring high speed boatmaneuvers.While activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, aboat will continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity anddegree of any turn at shut down. However, the boat will not complete a fullcircle. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat'spath as seriously as the boat would when under power.

GENERAL INFORMATION

eng 23

We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper startingand operating procedures should they be required to operate the engine in anemergency (if the operator is accidentally ejected).

! WARNINGIf the operator falls out of the boat, stop the engine immediately to reduce thepossibility of serious injury or death from being struck by the boat. Alwaysproperly connect the operator to the stop switch using a lanyard.

! WARNINGAvoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting fromaccidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat operator shouldnever leave the operator's station without first disconnecting the stop switchlanyard from the operator.

Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation isalso a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the following potentiallyhazardous situations:• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward

motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers in the front of the boat whocould be ejected over the bow and possibly struck by the gearcase orpropeller.

• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, orhigh winds.

• Loss of control when docking.

KEEP THE LANYARD STOP SWITCH AND LANYARD CORD IN GOODOPERATING CONDITIONBefore each use, check to ensure the lanyard stop switch works properly. Startthe 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 goodworking 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 anydamaged or worn lanyard cords.

Protecting People in the WaterWHILE YOU ARE CRUISINGIt is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take quickaction 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 anarea where there might be people in the water.Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is in neutralposition, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to cause thepropeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can cause serious injury.

WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY

! WARNINGA spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boatcan cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the engine immediatelywhenever anyone in the water is near your boat.

Shift the outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people toswim or be in the water near your boat.

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

eng 25

! WARNINGInhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning,which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposureto carbon monoxide.Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running. Keep the boatwell‑ventilated while at rest or underway.

STAY CLEAR OF EXHAUST AREAS

41127

Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. Avoid areas ofconcentrated engine exhaust gases. When engines are running, keepswimmers away from the boat, and do not sit, lie, or stand on swim platforms orboarding ladders. While underway, do not allow passengers to be positionedimmediately behind the boat (platform dragging, teak/body surfing). Thisdangerous practice not only places a person in an area of high engine exhaustconcentration, but also subjects them to the possibility of injury from the boatpropeller.

GOOD VENTILATIONVentilate the passenger area, open side curtains or forward hatches to removefumes.Example of desired air flow through the boat:

21622

POOR VENTILATIONUnder certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvasenclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbonmonoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat.Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers andpassengers in an open area of a stationary boat that contains, or is near, arunning engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.

GENERAL INFORMATION

26 eng

1. Examples of poor ventilation while the boat is stationary:

a - Operating the engine when the boat is moored in a confined spaceb - Mooring close to another boat that has its engine operating

2. Examples of poor ventilation while the boat is moving:

a - Operating the boat with the trim angle of the bow too highb - Operating the boat with no forward hatches open (station wagon effect)

Selecting Accessories for Your OutboardGenuine Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Accessories have been specificallydesigned and tested for your outboard. These accessories are available fromMercury Marine dealers.IMPORTANT: Check with your dealer before installing accessories. The misuseof approved accessories or the use of nonapproved accessories can damagethe product.Some accessories not manufactured or sold by Mercury Marine are notdesigned to be safely used with your outboard or outboard operating system.Acquire and read the installation, operation and maintenance manuals for allyour selected accessories.

Watch for signs of weather change and avoid foul weather and rough‑seaboating.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 notsufficient.

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 accessiblefor every person onboard, plus a throwable cushion or ring. We stronglyadvise that everyone wear a life jacket at all times while in the boat.

Prepare other boat operators.

GENERAL INFORMATION

28 eng

• Instruct at least one person onboard in the basics of starting andoperating the engine and boat handling in case the driver becomesdisabled 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 andloading limitations. Know if your boat will float if it is full of water. When indoubt, contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer or the boatmanufacturer.

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 unexpectedacceleration, sudden stopping, unexpected loss of boat control, or suddenboat movement could cause a person to be thrown overboard or into theboat. Ensure that all passengers have a proper seat and are in it beforeany boat movement.

Never operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It isthe 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 unobstructedview particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats shouldblock the operator's view when the boat is above idle or planing transitionspeed. 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 toattend to the skier. The operator should always have the down skier insight and never back up to the skier or anyone in the water.

Report accidents.

GENERAL INFORMATION

eng 29

• Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident report withtheir state boating law enforcement agency when their boat is involved incertain boating accidents. A boating accident must be reported if 1) thereis loss of life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiringmedical treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or otherproperty where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there iscomplete loss of the boat.

FUEL AND OIL

34 eng

Fuel RecommendationsIMPORTANT: Use of improper gasoline can damage your engine. Enginedamage resulting from the use of improper gasoline is considered misuseof the engine, and damage caused thereby will not be covered under thelimited warranty.

FUEL RATINGSMercury Marine engines will operate satisfactorily when using a major brand ofunleaded gasoline meeting the following specifications:USA and Canada ‑ having a posted pump octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2minimum. Premium gasoline (92 [R+M]/2 octane) is also acceptable. Do notuse leaded gasoline.Outside USA and Canada ‑ having a posted pump octane rating of 90 RONminimum. Premium gasoline (98 RON) is also acceptable. If unleaded gasolineis not available, use a major brand of leaded gasoline.

USING REFORMULATED (OXYGENATED) GASOLINES (USA ONLY)This type of gasoline is required in certain areas of the USA. The two types ofoxygenates used in these fuels are alcohol (ethanol) or ether (MTBE or ETBE).If ethanol is the oxygenate that is used in the gasoline in your area, refer toGasolines Containing Alcohol.These reformulated gasolines are acceptable for use in your Mercury Marineengine.

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOLIf 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 thepercentage of alcohol in the fuel can also worsen these adverse effects.Some of these adverse effects are caused because the alcohol in the gasolinecan absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a separation of the water/alcoholfrom the gasoline in the fuel tank.The fuel system components on your Mercury Marine engine will withstand upto 10% alcohol content in the gasoline. We do not know what percentage yourboat's fuel system will withstand. Contact your boat manufacturer for specificrecommendations on the boat's fuel system components (fuel tanks, fuel lines,and fittings). Be aware that gasolines containing alcohol may cause increased:• Corrosion of metal parts• Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts• Fuel permeation through rubber fuel lines• Starting and operating difficulties

FUEL AND OIL

eng 35

! WARNINGFuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious injury ordeath. Periodically inspect all fuel system components for leaks, softening,hardening, swelling, or corrosion, particularly after storage. Any sign ofleakage or deterioration requires replacement before further engineoperation.

Because of possible adverse effects of alcohol in gasoline, it is recommendedthat only alcohol‑free gasoline be used where possible. If only fuel containingalcohol is available, or if the presence of alcohol is unknown, increasedinspection frequency for leaks and abnormalities is required.IMPORTANT: When operating a Mercury Marine engine on gasoline containingalcohol, storage of gasoline in the fuel tank for long periods should be avoided.Long periods of storage, common to boats, create unique problems. In cars,alcohol‑blend fuels normally are consumed before they can absorb enoughmoisture to cause trouble, but boats often sit idle long enough for phaseseparation to take place. In addition, internal corrosion may take place duringstorage if alcohol has washed protective oil films from internal components.

Low Permeation Fuel Hose RequirementRequired for outboards manufactured for sale, sold, or offered for sale in theUnited States.• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that any outboard

manufactured after January 1, 2009, must use low permeation fuel hosefor the primary fuel hose connecting the fuel tank to the outboard.

• Low permeation hose is USCG Type B1‑15 or Type A1‑15, defined as notexceeding 15/gm²/24 h with CE 10 fuel at 23 °C as specified in SAE J1527 ‑ marine fuel hose.

EPA Pressurized Portable Fuel Tank RequirementsThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires portable fuel systemsthat are produced after January 1, 2011, for use with outboard engines toremain fully sealed (pressurized) up to 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). These tanks maycontain 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) RequirementWhenever a pressurized fuel tank is used, a fuel demand valve is required tobe installed in the fuel hose between the fuel tank and primer bulb. The fueldemand valve prevents pressurized fuel from entering the engine and causinga fuel system overflow or possible fuel spillage.

FUEL AND OIL

36 eng

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.

b - Manual releasec - Vent/water drain holes

Mercury Marine's Pressurized Portable Fuel TankMercury Marine has created a new portable pressurized fuel tank that meetsthe preceding EPA requirements. These fuel tanks are available as anaccessory or are provided with certain portable outboard models.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE PORTABLE FUEL TANK• 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 atmosphereif internal pressure in the tank exceeds 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). A hissing noisemay be heard as the tank vents to the atmosphere. This is normal.

• The fuel tank includes a fuel demand valve that prevents pressurized fuelfrom entering the engine and causing a fuel system overflow or possiblefuel spillage.

• When installing the fuel tank cap, turn the cap to the right until you hear aclick. This signals that the fuel cap is fully seated. A built‑in deviceprevents overtightening.

• The fuel tank has a manual vent screw which should be closed fortransportation and open for operation and cap removal.

Since sealed fuel tanks are not vented, they will expand and contract as thefuel expands and contracts during heating and cooling cycles of the outside air.This is normal.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE PRESSURIZED PORTABLE FUEL TANK1. 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 deviceprevents overtightening.

2. Open the manual vent screw on top of the cap for operation and capremoval. Close the manual vent screw for transportation.

3. For fuel hoses that have quick disconnects, disconnect the fuel line fromthe engine or fuel tank when not in use.

4. Follow Filling Fuel Tank instructions for fueling.

Filling Fuel Tank

! WARNINGAvoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Use cautionwhen filling fuel tanks. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allowopen flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks.

Fill the fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.Remove the portable fuel tanks from the boat to fill them.Always stop the engine before filling the tanks.Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the tankvolume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its temperature rises and canleak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.

PORTABLE FUEL TANK PLACEMENT IN THE BOATPlace the fuel tank in the boat so the vent is higher than the fuel level undernormal boat operating conditions.

Engine Oil RecommendationsMercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified SAE 10W‑30 4‑Stroke MarineEngine Oil is recommended for general, all‑temperature use. If NMMA certifiedsynthetic blend oil is preferred, use Mercury or Quicksilver SAE 25W‑40Synthetic Blend Marine 4‑Stroke Engine Oil. If the recommended Mercury orQuicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified outboard oils are not available, a majorFC‑W certified 4‑stroke outboard oil may be used.

FUEL AND OIL

eng 39

NOTE: Under certain conditions, the operating temperature of four‑strokeoutboard engines may not get hot enough to evaporate the normal fuel andmoisture that accumulate in the crankcase. These conditions include operatingat idle for long periods, repeated short trips, slow speed or quick stop‑and‑gooperation, and operating in cooler climates. This additional fuel and moisturethat collects in the crankcase eventually ends up in the oil sump and will addto the total volume of oil that appears on the dipstick reading. This increase inoil volume is known as oil dilution. Outboard engines can typically handle largeamounts of oil dilution without causing durability problems. However, to ensureextended life of the outboard engine, Mercury recommends that the oil bechanged regularly following the oil change interval and using therecommended oil quality. It is further recommended that if your outboard isoperated frequently in the conditions described above, that more frequent oilchange intervals be considered.3. Install the oil filler cap and tighten securely.

OPERATION

eng 45

Prestarting Check List• Operator knows safe navigation, boating, and operating procedures.• An approved personal flotation device of suitable size for each person

aboard and readily accessible (it is the law).• A ring type life buoy or buoyant cushion designed to be thrown to a

person in the water.• Know your boats' maximum load capacity. Look at the boat capacity plate.• Fuel supply OK.• Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed

evenly and everyone is seated in a proper seat.• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.• It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.• Know the waters and area you will be boating; tides, currents, sand bars,

rocks, and other hazards.• Make inspection checks listed in Maintenance ‑ Inspection and

Maintenance Schedule.

Operating in Freezing TemperaturesWhen using your outboard or having your outboard moored in freezing or nearfreezing temperatures, keep the outboard tilted down at all times so thegearcase is submerged. This prevents the trapped water in the gearcase fromfreezing and causing possible damage to the water pump and othercomponents.If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the outboard should beremoved and drained completely of water. If ice should form at the water levelinside the outboard driveshaft housing, it will block water flow to the enginecausing possible damage.

Operating in Saltwater or Polluted WaterWe recommend that you flush the internal water passages of your outboardwith fresh water after each use in salt or polluted water. This will prevent abuildup 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 thegearcase is completely out of water (except in freezing temperatures) when notin use.Wash the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of the propeller andgearcase with fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Mercury Precisionor Quicksilver Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces. Do not spray oncorrosion control anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness of the anodes.

OIL FILLINGIMPORTANT: Do not overfill. Be sure that the outboard is upright (not tilted)when checking oil.Remove the oil fill cap and refill with 450 ml (15 fl oz) of oil. Install the oil fillcap.Idle engine for five minutes and check for leaks. Stop engine and check the oillevel on the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.

Gearcase LubricationWhen adding or changing gearcase lubricant, visually check for the presence ofwater in the lubricant. If water is present, it may have settled to the bottom andwill drain out prior to the lubricant, or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving ita milky colored appearance. If water is noticed, have the gearcase checked byyour dealer.
