General Information
ALL MODELS
Never stand on or use the tiller handle as a step.
When the outboard is tilted up to its full range, make sure that the tiller handle
will not contact anything that can damage it.
If the tiller handle causes interference when the outboard is tilted up to the full
position, a tilt limit kit is available for models 75 hp and higher through Mercury
Marine. This kit will limit the upward tilting range of the outboard. Contact your
authorized dealer.
POWER STEERING MODELS
The power steering system has a manual steering override feature. This
feature allows the operator to steer the outboard in case the power steering
pump should ever become inoperative.
Low battery voltage may cause incorrect power steering pump operation.
Under certain operating conditions, a slight shudder may be felt in the throttle
grip. This is normal and is caused by a feedback from the power steering
pump.
Prestarting Instructions
ALL MODELS
• Before starting, read the prestarting check list, prestarting instructions,
and engine break‑in procedure in the Operation section of the outboard
owner's manual.
• Visually check the tiller handle for tightness and the steering system for
any loose components.
POWER STEERING MODELS
• Check that the manual steering override feature is functional. Before
starting the engine, manually steer the outboard through the entire range.
If the outboard cannot be steered manually, the manual steering override
feature will not function if needed. Have the outboard checked by your
authorized dealer.
• Remove the trailering clips if installed.
