Important Information
Rigging boats, which includes proper engine installation has become more
complex over the years. As a result, Mercury Marine recommends that engines
be installed only by Mercury authorized dealers. If you intend to disregard this
recommendation, and install the engine yourself, please make sure to read and
comply with these instructions. Failure to comply with these installation
instructions could lead to serious injury or death.
NOTE: Do not install an accessory electric fuel pump onto the fuel system for
this engine.

WARNING
Exceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause serious injury
or death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat control and flotation
characteristics or break the transom. Do not install an engine that exceeds
the boat's maximum power rating.
