DTS Wiring System
Splicing or probing will damage the wire insulation allowing water to enter the
wiring. Water intrusion may lead to wiring failure and loss of throttle and shift
control. To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death from loss of boat
control, do not splice or probe into any wire insulation of the DTS system.

Accessory Drive Belt
The accessory drive belt is located under the flywheel shroud–intake air
induction plenum. The accessory drive belt inspection must be completed by an
authorized Mercury dealer at the recommended interval. Refer to Inspection
and Maintenance Schedule.
Fuses
IMPORTANT: An ATC fuse has the fuse element enclosed or sealed inside the
plastic housing. This type of fuse must be used for marine applications. Marine
applications are exposed to environments that may have the potential to
accumulate explosive vapors. ATO fuses have exposed elements and should
never be used in marine applications.
The electrical wiring circuits on the outboard are protected from overload with
fuses. If a fuse is open, try to locate and correct the cause of the overload. If
the cause is not found, the fuse may open again.
UPPER FUSE PANEL
The upper fuse panel is equipped with 11 fuses and four spares. Refer to the
following image for identification.
1. Open the hood. Refer to Hood Opening.
2. Locate the fuse holder on the starboard side of the engine. Remove the
cover from the fuse holder.
NOTE: A fuse identification decal is located on the fuse panel cover.
3. Remove the suspected open fuse and look at the silver band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken (open), replace the fuse.
