SMARTCRAFT PRODUCT
A Mercury SmartCraft System instrument package can be
purchased for this outboard. A few of the functions the
instrument package will display are engine RPM, coolant
temperature, battery voltage, fuel consumption and engine
operating hours.
The SmartCraft instrument package will also aid in Engine
Guardian diagnostics. The SmartCraft instrument package will
display critical engine alarm data and potential problems.
NOTE: If equipped with SmartCraft instruments, the check
engine icon will be displayed during the engine break‑in period.
Power Trim and Tilt
Your outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This
enables the operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard
by pressing the trim switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the
boat transom is called trimming in or down. Moving the outboard
further away from the boat transom is called trimming out or up.
The term trim generally refers to the adjustment of the outboard
within the first 20° range of travel. This is the range used while
operating your boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used
when referring to adjusting the outboard further up out of the
water. With the engine turned off, the outboard can be tilted out
of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard can also be tilted up
past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water
operation.
