Remote Steering Notice; Outboard Mounting Notice - Mercury 75 Pro XS FourStroke Operation Maintenance Installation Warranty Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

Remote Steering Notice

The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be
fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts. These self‑locking nuts must never be
replaced with common nuts (nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off,
freeing the link rod to disengage.
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in
loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can cause a
sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in serious injury or death
due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.

Outboard Mounting Notice

Failure to correctly fasten the outboard could result in the outboard propelling
off the boat transom resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the required
mounting hardware.
We strongly recommend that your dealer install your outboard and related
accessories to ensure proper installation and good performance. If you install
the outboard yourself, refer to the Outboard Installation section.
