Operation And Maintenance

OWNER/OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks; to ensure that all lubrication and maintenance in-
structions are complied with for safe operation and to return the unit to an Authorized MerCruiser Dealer for a
periodic checkup.
Normal maintenance, service and replacement parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and as such,

its and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your power package will assure optimum performance and dependability, and
will keep your overall operating expenses at a minimum. See your Authorized MerCruiser Dealer for service aids.

Drain Plug and Bilge Pump

The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to collect. For this reason, boats are normally
equipped with a drain plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on a regular basis to
ensure that the water level does not rise to come in contact with your power package. Components on your en-
gine will be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by submersion is not covered by the MerCruiser Limited
Warranty.
