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.
Be sure that at least one additional person onboard is instructed in the basics
of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is
unable to operate the boat.
High‑Speed and High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your outboard is to be used on a high‑speed or high‑performance boat with
which you are unfamiliar, we recommend that you do not operate it at its high
speed capability without first requesting an initial orientation and familiarization
demonstration ride with your dealer or an operator experienced with your boat/
outboard combination. For additional information, obtain a copy of our
Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your dealer, distributor, or
Mercury Marine.
Outboard Remote Control Models
The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a start
in neutral only protection device. This prevents the engine from starting when
the shift is actuated in any position other than neutral.
!
WARNING
Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate a boat that does not have a neutral‑safety‑protection device.
