Inspection And Maintenance Schedule - Mercury Avator 7.5e Operation, Maintenance And Installation Manual

Routine cleaning of the remote control external surfaces is recommended to
prevent a buildup of salt and other environmental debris. Use a cloth towel
which has a sufficient amount of fresh water to dissolve and remove salt or
mineral deposits.
When water marks cannot be removed with a damp cloth, mix a 50/50 solution
of warm water and isopropyl alcohol to clean the remote control. Do not use
acetone, mineral spirits, turpentine type solvents, or ammonia based cleaning
products. The use of strong solvents or detergents may damage the coating,
the plastics, or the rubber components on the remote control.
CLEANING COWLS
IMPORTANT: Do not wipe the plastic surface when it is dry. This action will
result in minor surface scratches. Always wet the surface before cleaning.
Do not use detergents containing hydrochloric acid. Follow the cleaning and
waxing procedure.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Before washing, rinse the cowls with clean water to remove dirt and dust
that may scratch the surface.
2. Wash the cowls with clean water and a mild nonabrasive soap. Use a soft
clean cloth when washing.
3. Dry thoroughly with a soft clean cloth.
CLEANING UNDER COWL COMPONENTS (SALTWATER USE)
If the outboard is operated in saltwater, as part of annual maintenance, have
an authorized dealer remove the cowling for inspection of salt buildup and
cleaning of salt deposits on components. Wash off any salt buildup from
the under cowl components with fresh water. After washing, allow the under
cowl components to dry. Apply Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants
Corrosion Guard spray on the external metal surfaces of the under cowl
components.
IMPORTANT: Before applying Corrosion Guard under the cowl, ensure the
battery connector is covered with the weather cap.
