Emergency Starting - Mercury 5 HP FourStroke Propane Operation, Maintenance And Installation Manual

Emergency Starting

If the starter rope breaks or the rewind starter fails, use the spare starter rope
(provided) and follow this procedure.
The neutral‑speed‑protection device is inoperative when starting the engine
with the emergency starter rope. Set the engine speed at idle and the gear
shift in neutral to prevent the outboard from starting in gear.
1. Shift the outboard to the neutral (N) position.
2. Disconnect the linkage from the rewind starter assembly.
3. Remove the three 10 mm screws and rewind starter assembly.
