Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required
capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as
determined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
START IN GEAR PROTECTION
!
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.
The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped with a start in
neutral only protection device. This prevents the engine from starting in gear.
SELECTING ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR OUTBOARD
Genuine Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Accessories have been specifically
designed and tested for your outboard. These accessories are available from

IMPORTANT: Check with your dealer before installing accessories. The misuse
of approved accessories or the use of nonapproved accessories can damage

Some accessories not manufactured or sold by Mercury Marine are not
designed to be safely used with your outboard or outboard operating system.
Acquire and read the installation, operation and maintenance manuals for all
your selected accessories.
