High‑Speed and High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your outboard is to be used on a high‑speed or high‑performance boat with
which you are unfamiliar, we recommend that you do not operate it at its high
speed capability without first requesting an initial orientation and familiarization
demonstration ride with your dealer or an operator experienced with your boat/
outboard combination. For additional information, obtain a copy of our
Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your dealer, distributor, or
Mercury Marine.

Outboard Remote Control Models

The outboard must be equipped with a Mercury remote control designed for
digital throttle and shift. Start‑in‑gear protection is provided by the remote
control system.

Lanyard Stop Switch

The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and
some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to
attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device (PFD) or wrist.
