Quicksilver 755OP — System & Component Overview and Operation
Fuel Filters
Mercury already provided the appropriate level of filtration to protect the engine from debris. The
addition of another in-line filter to the system will create a possible flow restriction that can starve the
engine(s) of fuel. As a precaution, it is advisable to carry extra on-engine filters in case filter plugging
from debris becomes a problem during boating.
For vessels powered by an L6 Verado, Mercury provides an approved, externally mounted fuel filter
for use in your boat. The filter is located on the starboard side of the vessel and can be access via the
cockpit floor hatch. The filter is connected to the SmartCraft
when maintenance is required. For more information, refer to the engine manufacturer's manual in
your owner's manual package.
Maintenance
Periodically inspect for the presence of water in the fuel tank. If any is found, all water must be
removed and the tank completely dried before refilling the tank with any fuel containing ethanol.
Storage
Long periods of storage and/or non-use, common to boats, create unique problems. When preparing
to store a boat for extended periods, of two months or more, it is best to completely remove all fuel
from the tank. If it is not possible to remove the fuel, maintaining a full tank of fuel with a fuel
stabilizer added to provide fuel stability and corrosion protection is recommended.
REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL IN YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL PACKAGE FOR
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
E85 FUELS COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE AND
MUST NEVER BE USED.
Do not obstruct or modify the ventilation system.
2. Fresh Water System (optional)
The fresh water system consists of an 80 liter water tank, pump, and plumbing connections for water
to the entertainment center, the transom shower, or both.
Filling the Tank
The water tank can be filled through the water fill inlet located on the transom of the boat. Fill the
tank only from a source known to provide safe, pure drinking water. Use only a plastic hose to fill the
water tank.
Be sure to fill the water tank from a source known to
provide safe, pure drinking water.
Fresh Water Pump
The fresh water pump delivers water from the tank to entertainment center faucet, and transom
shower. To power the system turn on the WATER PUMP switch located on the dash. Turn off the
power to the pump when your boat is not in use or when the fresh water tank is empty.
TM
instrumentation and will warn you
The use of fuels containing ethanol higher than 10 percent
(E-10) can damage your engine and/ or fuel system and will
void the warranty.
If you do not use the freshwater system for long periods of
time, or only use it seasonally, it is recommended that you
disinfect the system before using.
