Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water
to collect. For this reason, boats are normally equipped with a
drain plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check
these items on a regular basis to ensure that the water level
does not rise to come in contact with your power package.
Engine components will be damaged if submerged. Damage
caused by submersion is not covered by the Mercury Racing
Limited Warranty.
Launching And Boat Operation Care
NOTICE
Some boating maneuvers can introduce water into the engine
through the exhaust system, causing severe engine damage.
Be careful when unloading a boat from its trailer, slowing down
rapidly, backing up rapidly, and stopping suddenly.
In any of the situations described in the preceding caution, water
entering the engine could cause severe damage to internal parts.
Refer to Attention Required After Submersion in the General
Information section of this manual.
