GENERAL INFORMATION 20 eng Boater's Responsibilities The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the boat and the safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly recommended that each operator read and understand this entire manual before operating the outboard.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 21 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 22 eng Remote Steering Notice The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts. These self‑locking nuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 23 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 24 eng 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).
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 25 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 26 eng 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. 26782 ! WARNING Sitting or standing in an area of the boat not designed for passengers at speeds above idle can cause serious injury or death.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 27 Wave 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 28 eng Impact 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 29 ! WARNING Operating a boat or engine with impact damage can result in product damage, serious injury, or death. If the vessel experiences any form of impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair the vessel or power package.
GENERAL INFORMATION 30 eng ! WARNING Inhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposure to carbon monoxide. Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 31 1. Examples of poor ventilation while the boat is stationary: a - Operating the engine when the boat is moored in a confined space b - Mooring close to another boat that has its engine operating 2.
GENERAL INFORMATION 32 eng • 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION eng 33 • 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).
GENERAL INFORMATION 34 eng • 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.
