WARNING
Neglected outboard inspection and maintenance or perform-
ing maintenance or repairs you are not familiar with, could re-
sult in personal injury, death or product failure.
Submerged Outboard
A submerged outboard will require service within a few hours by an
authorized dealer once the outboard is recovered. This immediate
attention is necessary once the engine is exposed to the atmosphere
to minimize internal corrosion damage to the engine.
Selecting Replacement Parts For Your Outboard
We recommend using original Mercury Precision replacement parts
and Lubricants.
WARNING
Using a replacement part that is inferior to the original part
could result in personal injury, death, or product failure.
