Mercury Marine, that they have been trained in the recommended servicing procedures of these products which in- cludes the use of mechanics’ common hand tools and the special Mercury Marine or recom- mended tools from other suppliers.
It is important to note, during any maintenance procedure replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as those removed. Numbers on the heads of the met- ric bolts and on the surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. American bolts use radial lines for this purpose, while most American nuts do not have strength markings.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 General Maintenance Maintaining Power Package Exterior Surfaces Entire power package should be sprayed at recommended intervals with Quicksilver Corrosion Guard. Follow instructions on can for proper application. Entire power package should be cleaned and external surfaces that have become bare should be repainted with Quicksilver Primer and Spray Paint at recommended intervals.
• Avoid an electrical interconnection between the Mercury MerCruiser Product, Anodic Blocks, or MerCathode System and the paint by allowing a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (40 mm) UNPAINTED area on transom of the boat around these items.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 9. After paint has dried, spray entire sterndrive with Quicksilver Corrosion Guard. Refer to SECTION 1B. CAUTION Store sterndrive unit in the full trim DOWN/IN position. U-joint bellows may develop a “set” if unit is stored in raised position and may fail when unit is returned to ser- vice.

AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 Auto Trim II System Description The Auto Trim System consists of the following major components: • Auto Trim Pump - same pump that is used on the standard power trim models. • Control Module - a solid-state electronic device that senses engine rpm and regulates the time at which the sterndrive unit trims IN and OUT when operating in the AUTO mode.
Page 495
AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 Auto Mode Operation WARNING Sterndrive unit will automatically lower from the raised position when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position and mode switch is placed in the AUTO mode. BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS IN THE AREA OF THE STERNDRIVE UNIT. With mode switch in the AUTO mode, the sterndrive unit will move automatically to properly trim the boat while underway.
Page 496
AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 “Manual” Mode Operation Placing the mode switch in the MANUAL position will deactivate the AUTO system and allow the operator to adjust sterndrive unit position, using the manual trim control. Typical controls are shown following. Manual trimming may be desirable to fine tune the trim angle for a particular water condition or boat load, or in situations where greater control over the trim operation is needed.
Page 497
AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 TRIMMING STERNDRIVE UNIT OUT (BOW UP) 1. Press UP/OUT Button until sterndrive unit moves to properly trim boat or trim limit switch stops outward travel. 22174 UP/OUT Button CAUTION NEVER trim the sterndrive unit OUT using the “Trailer” switch(es) while boat is un- derway.
AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 Electrical System Overload Protection The Auto Trim electrical system is protected from overload by a 110-amp fuse, and a 20-amp in-line fuse at control module positive (+) battery lead and a 20-amp in-line fuse at ignition switch (if Quicksilver ignition switch is used).
Page 499
AUTO TRIM II SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28 Adjusting Sterndrive Unit Trim Angle WARNING When adjusting trim limit use extreme care that engine is not accidentally started and keep clear of area near propeller. Also, use care to prevent placing hands in an area where they could be injured by sterndrive unit movement.
