Under these conditions, ot speed should e kept to mximum speed of km/h (15 25 mph). Striking floting/underwter oject my result in n infinite numer of situtions. Some of these situtions could result in the following: The ot could move suddenly in new direction.

Impct dmge to the underwter drive components, rudder, nd/or ot. Keep in mind, one of the most importnt things you cn do to help reduce injury or impct dmge in these situtions is control the ot speed. Bot speed should e kept to minimum plning speed when driving in wters known to hve underwter ostcles. After striking sumerged oject, stop the engine s soon s possile nd inspect the drive system for ny roken or loose prts. If dmge is present or suspected, the power pckge should e tken to n uthorized Mercury MerCruiser deler for thorough inspection nd necessry repir. The ot should e checked for hull frctures, trnsom frctures, nd wter leks. Operting with dmged underwter drive components, rudder, or ot ottom could cuse dditionl dmge to other prts of the power pckge, or could ffect control of the ot. If continued opertion is necessry, do so t gretly reduced speeds.! WARNING Operting ot or engine with impct dmge cn result in product dmge, serious injury, or deth. If the vessel experiences ny form of impct, hve n uthorized Mercury Mrine deler inspect nd repir the vessel or power pckge. Drive Unit Impct Protection The power trim hydrulic system is designed to provide impct protection for the sterndrive unit. If sumerged oject is struck while the ot is moving forwrd, the hydrulic system will cushion the kickup of the sterndrive unit s it clers the oject, reducing dmge to the unit. After the sterndrive unit hs clered the oject, the hydrulic system llows the sterndrive unit to return to its originl operting position, preventing loss of steering control nd engine overspeed. Use extreme cution when operting in shllow wter or where underwter ojects re known to e present. No impct protection is provided in reverse; use extreme cre to prevent striking sumerged ojects while operting in reverse.

Loss of performnce cn e cused y: Higher elevtions Higher tempertures Low rometric pressures High humidity For you to hve optimum engine performnce under chnging wether conditions, it is essentil tht the engine e propped to llow the engine to operte t or ner the top end of the specified mximum RPM rnge with norml ot lod during your norml oting wether conditions. In most cses, recommended RPM cn e chieved y chnging to lower pitch propeller. Propeller Selection IMPORTANT: The engines covered in this mnul re equipped with n RPM rev limiter tht is set to n upper RPM limit. This limit, which is slightly ove the norml operting rnge of the engine, helps prevent dmge from excessive engine RPM. Once the RPM returns to the recommended operting RPM rnge, norml engine opertion resumes. The ot mnufcturer nd the selling deler re responsile for equipping the power pckge with the correct propeller. Refer to Mercury Mrine's we pge Select propeller tht will llow the engine power pckge to operte t or ner the top end of the recommended WOT operting RPM rnge with norml lod. If full throttle opertion is elow the recommended rnge, the propeller must e chnged to prevent loss of performnce nd possile engine dmge. On the other hnd, operting n engine ove the recommended operting RPM rnge will cuse higher thn norml wer nd dmge. After initil propeller selection, the following common prolems my require tht the propeller e chnged to lower pitch. Wrmer wether nd greter humidity cuse loss of RPM. Operting in higher elevtion cuses loss of RPM. Operting with dirty ot ottom cuses loss of RPM. Operting with incresed lod (dditionl pssengers, pulling skiers) cuses loss of RPM. For etter ccelertion, such s is needed for wterskiing, use the next lower pitch propeller. When not pulling skiers, do not operte t full throttle when using the lower pitch propeller. Getting Strted 20 Hour Brek In Period IMPORTANT: The first 20 hours of opertion is the engine rek in period. Correct rek in is essentil to otin minimum oil consumption nd mximum engine performnce. During this rek in period, the following rules must e oserved: Do not operte elow 1500 RPM for extended periods of time for the first 10 hours.

If unleded gsoline is not ville, use mjor rnd of leded gsoline. Using Reformulted (Oxygented) Gsoline (USA Only) Reformulted gsoline is required in certin res of the USA nd is cceptle for use in your Mercury MerCruiser engine. The two types of oxygentes used in these fuels re lcohol (ethnol) nd ether (MTBE or ETBE). If ethnol is the oxygente tht is used in the gsoline in your re, refer to Gsoline Contining Alcohol. Gsoline Contining Alcohol If the gsoline in your re contins either methnol (methyl lcohol) or ethnol (ethyl lcohol), e wre of possile dverse effects. These dverse effects re more severe with methnol nd worsen ccording to the percentge of lcohol in the fuel. Alcohol in gsoline cn sor moisture from the ir, cusing the wter nd the lcohol to seprte from the gsoline in the fuel tnk. IMPORTANT: The fuel system components on your Mercury MerCruiser engine will withstnd up to 10% lcohol content in the gsoline. We do not know wht percentge your ot's fuel system will withstnd.

Periodiclly inspect ll fuel system components for leks, softening, hrdening, swelling, or corrosion, prticulrly fter storge. Any sign of lekge or deteriortion requires replcement efore further engine opertion. IMPORTANT: If you use gsoline tht contins or might contin lcohol, you must increse the frequency of inspection for leks nd normlities. IMPORTANT: When operting Mercury MerCruiser engine on gsoline contining lcohol, do not store the gsoline in the fuel tnk for long periods.

If you ttempt to service the product yourself, we suggest you order the service mnul for tht model. The service mnul outlines the correct procedures to follow. It is written for the trined mechnic, so there my e procedures you don't understnd. Do not ttempt repirs if you do not understnd the procedures. There re specil tools nd equipment tht re required to perform some repirs. Do not ttempt these repirs unless you hve these specil tools nd/or equipment. You cn cuse dmge to the product in excess of the cost deler would chrge you. Also, if you prtilly disssemle n engine or drive ssemly nd re unle to repir it, the deler's mechnic must ressemle the components nd test to determine the prolem. This will cost you more thn tking it to the deler immeditely upon hving prolem. It my e very simple djustment to correct the prolem. Do not telephone the deler, service office or the fctory to ttempt for them to dignose prolem or to request the repir procedure. It is difficult for them to dignose prolem over the telephone. Your uthorized deler is there to service your power pckge. They hve qulified fctory trined mechnics. It is recommended you hve the deler do periodic mintennce checks on your power pckge.
