IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: If anti‑fouling protection is required for boat hull or boat transom, copper base paint,
if not prohibited by law, can be used. If using copper based anti‑fouling paint, observe the following:
•
Avoid an electrical interconnection between the Mercury MerCruiser Product, Anodic Blocks,
or MerCathode System and the paint by allowing a minimum of 40 mm (1‑1/2 in.) UNPAINTED
area on transom of the boat around these items.
NOTE: Sterndrive unit and transom assembly can be painted with a good quality marine paint or
an anti‑fouling paint that DOES NOT contain copper or any other material that could conduct
electrical current. Do not paint drain holes, anodes, MerCathode system or items specified by boat
manufacturer.
NOTE: Do not wash the sterndrive unit with a power washer as this can damage the coating on
the reference wire of the MerCathode assembly, if equipped, and increase corrosion.
Emission Control Information Label
A tamper‑resistant Emission Control Information label is affixed in a visible location to the engine
at time of manufacture by Mercury MerCruiser. In addition to the required emissions statement,
the label lists the engine serial number, family, STD (emission standard/level), date of manufacture
(month, year), and the engine displacement. Please note that the low emissions certification will
not affect the fit, function, or performance of the engines. Boatbuilders and dealers may not remove
the label or the part it is affixed to before sale. If modifications are necessary, contact Mercury
MerCruiser about the availability of replacement decals before proceeding.
