Charging System Fusible Link; Removing The Propeller - Mercury 225 Pro XS Manual

Charging System Fusible Link

This model has a 100 ampere fusible link between the alternator and the
+12 volt stud. This fusible link protects the alternator from damage due to
accidental reverse battery connection. If the battery cables are reversed,
the fusible link creates an open circuit, protecting the alternator. With the
fusible link open, the engine can be started; however, the run time is limited,
because the alternator is not charging the boat battery. If the fusible link
circuit becomes open, contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer.

Removing the Propeller

Avoid possible serious injury or death. Shift the outboard to the neutral
position and remove spark plug leads before servicing the propeller. If
the propeller is rotated while the engine is in gear, the engine could start
and, therefore, create a hazardous condition.
NOTE: If propeller is seized to the shaft and cannot be removed, consult
your authorized Mercury Marine dealer.
