    CAPACITY 26777 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.
  • Page 25: Lanyard Stop Switch

    GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious injury or death. Never operate a boat that does not have a neutral‑safety‑protection device. Lanyard Stop Switch The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the switch.
  • Page 26 GENERAL INFORMATION Important Safety Information: The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch. This would occur if the operator accidentally falls overboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator's position.
  • Page 27: Protecting People In The Water

    GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat operator should never leave the operator's station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator. Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also a possibility.
  • Page 28: Exhaust Emissions

    WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY Stop the Mercury Jet Drive engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat. The Mercury Jet Drive is always drawing water through the water intake grate when the engine is running. Stay away from the water intake located under the stern (back) of the boat and never insert an object into the water intake or water outlet nozzle when the engine is running.
  • Page 29 GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING Inhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposure to carbon monoxide. Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running. Keep the boat well‑ventilated while at rest or underway. STAY CLEAR OF EXHAUST AREAS 41127 Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide.
  • Page 30 GENERAL INFORMATION POOR VENTILATION Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat. Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in an open area of a stationary boat that contains, or is near, a running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
  • Page 31: Wave And Wake Jumping

    GENERAL INFORMATION Wave and Wake Jumping Operating recreational boats over waves and wake is a natural part of boating. However, when this activity is done with sufficient speed to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when the boat reenters the water.
  • Page 32: Selecting Accessories For Your Mercury Jet Drive

    Some accessories not manufactured or sold by Mercury Marine are not designed to be safely used with your Mercury Jet Drive operating system. Acquire and read the installation, operation and maintenance manuals for all your selected accessories.
  • Page 33 Prepare other boat operators. Instruct at least one other person onboard in the basics of starting and operating your Mercury Jet Drive, and boat handling, in case the driver becomes disabled or falls overboard.
  • Page 34 Seek further assistance from local law enforcement. Avoid shallow water conditions. Avoid operating your Mercury Jet Drive in very shallow water or where there is a noticeable amount of floating debris or weeds. Always be in at least 3 feet of water, especially when accelerating from idle speeds.

  • Page 46: Special Operating Instructions

    1. The jet drive works by drawing water up through the bottom water intake and redirects it to the rear for forward thrust. The Mercury Jet Drive has a steerable rudder that can direct the jet thrust to the right or left. If the engine stops or the water flow is blocked, this will stop the jet thrust causing the boat to slow to a stop.
  • Page 47 OPERATION 4. Avoid operating the jet drive in very shallow water or where there is a noticeable amount of floating debris or weeds, especially when accelerating from idle. Any loose material such as sand, shells, stones, seaweed, grass, etc. can be drawn up by the pump and cause the following problems: •...
  • Page 48: Engine Break-In Procedure

    Remove the boat and jet drive from the water when not in use. Wash down the exterior and interior of the jet drive with fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces. Do not spray Corrosion Guard on the corrosion control anodes.
  • Page 49: Starting The Engine

    OPERATION The engine break‑in procedure for your OptiMax engine is important to ensure proper performance and maximum life from the engine. The following break‑in procedure allows the internal engine parts to wear‑in evenly. Incorrect engine break‑in can shorten the engine life. The engine automatically receives extra oil during the first hours of operation.
  • Page 50 OPERATION 1. Before starting, operate the bilge blower for at least five minutes to remove explosive fumes from the engine compartment. 4640 CAUTION Never start or run the jet drive without water circulating through the cooling system to prevent damage to the unit. 2.

  • Page 62: Corrosion Control Anodes

    This model has three corrosion control anodes: One on the bottom of the nozzle, one on the reverse gate, and one under the rudder. Anodes help protect the Mercury Jet Drive against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to be slowly eroded instead of the Mercury Jet Drive metals.
  • Page 63: Battery Inspection

    MAINTENANCE All anodes require periodic inspection, especially in saltwater. Inspect anodes periodically (refer to the Inspection and Maintenance Schedule). Replace any anodes before they are 50% corroded. Never paint or apply protective coating on the anode, as effectiveness of the anode will be reduced. Battery Inspection The battery should be inspected at periodic intervals to ensure proper engine starting capability.
