OPERATION
64 eng
NOTICE
Operating the engine while overheated can cause engine damage. If no
water exits the water pump indicator hole, stop the engine and check the
cooling water intake holes for obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a
water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system, which can overheat the
engine. Have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer check the system.
Gear Shifting
IMPORTANT: Never shift into gear unless the engine is at idle. Never shift into
reverse without the engine running.
• Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: forward,
neutral (out of gear) and reverse.
• When shifting, always stop at neutral position and allow the engine speed
to return to idle.
• Always shift into gear with a quick motion.
• After shifting into gear, advance the lever further to increase speed.
Stopping the Engine
Reduce the engine speed and shift the outboard to neutral position. Turn the
ignition key to "OFF" position.
