AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 86
• What type of gasoline to use
• Avoiding oxygenated fuels or fuels with alcohol
• What to do when the boat is not used for long periods
of time
• Fueling outside the United States and Canada.
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality gasoline or gasoline with
an octane rating below the minimum level listed for Mercury engines
will void the warranty on the engine. Extended storage with fuel in the
system can affect fuel stability and may require system inspection and
fuel filter replacement when the boat returns to service.
Engine Hatch
The engine hatch is located on the transom of all boats. Open
the hatch to inspect the engine or batteries as necessary. To
open the hatch, navigate to the switches panel on the 11”
display. Click the + or – buttons to raise and lower the hatch.
Should the screen fail or batteries die, there is a manual engine
hatch override switch mounted to the breaker panel under the
aft port side seating on the AV32 and AV36, or mounted inside
and adjacent to the battery switch compartment on the AV40.
To operate this override switch, attach a jump pack or auxiliary
battery to the studs provided and use the switch to raise or
lower the engine hatch.
