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. Engine components will
be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by submersion is not
covered by the Mercury Racing Limited Warranty.
The bilge drain can be used to change crankcase oil. Refer to the
Maintenance section.
