Safety and operating information that is practiced along with using good
common sense can help prevent personal injury and product damage.
Boat Horsepower Capacity
Exceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause serious injury
or death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat control and flotation
characteristics or break the transom. Do not install an engine that exceeds
the boat's maximum power rating.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required
capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as
determined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
High‑Speed and High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your Mercury Jet Drive is to be used in a high‑speed or high‑performance
boat with which you are unfamiliar, we recommend that you never 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 Mercury Jet Drive. For additional information, obtain a copy of our
Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your dealer, distributor, or
Mercury Marine.
Towing the Watercraft in Water
If towing a stranded Mercury Jet Drive powered watercraft in water, the towing
speed must be slow. Keep the towing speed at or around idle speed.
Keeping the towing speed slow will prevent water from being forced up through
the exhaust system and into the engine. Water entering the engine can cause
damage to internal engine parts.
