    INDEX CA766 Exhaust Emissions CA641 Courtesy of ABYC CA767 Be Alert To Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide is present in the exhaust fumes of all internal combustion engines including the outboards, sterndrives and inboard engines that propel boats, as well as the generators that power various boat accessories.
  • Page 17 INDEX CA643 POOR VENTILATION Courtesy of ABYC Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat. Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in an unclosed area of a stationary boat that contains or is near a running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.

  • Page 18: Wave And Wake Jumping

    INDEX CD543 Wave And Wake Jumping Operating recreational boats over waves and wakes is a natural part of boating. However, when this activity is done with speed to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when the boat re-enters the water.

  • Page 19: Impact With Underwater Hazards

    INDEX CD604 Impact With Underwater Hazards Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you’re driving a boat in shallow water areas or in areas where the waters are suspected of having underwater obstacles that could be struck by the sterndrive or the boat bot- tom.

  • Page 20: Operating With Low Water Inlets In Shallow Water

    If drive unit should strike a submerged object, stop engine as soon as possible and inspect drive unit for damage. If damage is present or suspected, boat should be taken to an Authorized Mercury MerCruiser Dealer for thorough inspection and necessary repair. Operating a damaged drive unit could cause additional damage to other parts of drive unit, or could affect control of boat.

  • Page 21: Safe Boating Suggestions

    INDEX CA476 Safe Boating Suggestions In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following suggestions. • Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways. Boat operators should complete a boating safety course.
  • Page 22 INDEX • Use personal flotation devices. Federal Law requires that there be a U. S. Coast Guard approved, wearable-type life jacket (personal flotation device), correctly sized and readily accessible for every person on board, plus a throwable cushion or ring. We strongly advise that everyone wear a life jacket at all times while in the boat.

    INDEX • Also, if you partially disassemble an engine or drive assembly and are unable to repair it, the dealer’s mechanic must reassemble the components and test to determine the problem. This will cost you more than taking it to the dealer immediately upon having a problem. It may be a very simple adjustment to correct the problem.

  • Page 31: Diagnosing Efi Problems

    End of First Season Checkup At the end of the first season of operation, an Authorized Mercury MerCruiser Dealer should be contacted to discuss and/or perform various scheduled maintenance items. If you are in an area where the product is operated continuously (year-round operation), you should contact your dealer at the end of the first 100 hours of operation, or once yearly, whichever occurs first.
