Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to
collect. For this reason, boats are normally equipped with a drain
plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on
a regular basis to ensure that the water level does not rise to come
in contact with your power package. Components on your engine will
be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by submersion is not
covered by the MerCruiser Limited Warranty.

Launching And Boat Operation Care
CAUTION
During launching from a trailer, if the unloading ramp is steep
or the trailer bed must be tilted, the boat may enter the water
rapidly and at a steep angle. This may force water through the
exhaust system into the cylinders. The more weight on the
transom, the more likely this is to occur.
Slowing down rapidly or stopping suddenly may cause a fol-
lowing wave to “swamp” the transom. In this instance, water
may enter the cylinders through the exhaust system.
When backing up rapidly, the same situation may occur as
stated in the preceding paragraph.
In any of these situations, water entering the engine could cause
severe damage to internal parts. Refer to “Attention Required After
Submersion” in the General Information section of this manual.
