OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
Page 1D-2 90-827242R02 FEBRUARY 2003
WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1)
cause loss of boat control 2) place too much weight at the transom altering the
designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3) cause the boat to break apart
particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious
injury, death, or boat damage.
Outboard Remote Control
The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a start in gear
protection device. This prevents the engine from starting when the outboard is in gear.
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden unexpected acceleration when starting
your engine. The design of this outboard requires that the remote control used with
it must have a built in start in gear protection device.
Selecting Accessories For The Outboard
Mercury Marine Quicksilver Accessories have been specifically designed and tested for
your outboard.
Mercury Marine Quicksilver accessories are available from Mercury Marine dealers.
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.
Selecting Steering Cables and Remote Control Cables
Install steering mount and steering wheel in accordance with installation instructions that
accompany each.
IMPORTANT: Steering cable must be correct length. Sharp bends on too-short of a
cable result in kinks; too-long of a cable require unnecessary bends and/or loops.
Both conditions place extra stress on the cable.
Refer to Mercury Precision Parts/Quicksilver Accessories Guide to determine correct
length of steering cable.
