  • Page 13: Start-In-Neutral Protection Device

    GENERAL INFORMATION Start‑In‑Neutral Protection Device The tiller handle shift controller or the remote control connected to the outboard is equipped with a start‑in‑neutral only protection device. This prevents the outboard from activating when the remote control or tiller control is placed in any position other than neutral at the time it is powered ON.

  • Page 14: Lanyard Stop Switch

    GENERAL INFORMATION 78180 Neutral Lanyard Stop Switch The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop the outboard 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. Tiller handle outboards and panel mounted lanyard switches provide similar functionality and will stop or prevent propeller rotation as soon as the lanyard is displaced from its installed location.
  • Page 15 GENERAL INFORMATION There is a temporary lanyard key without a lanyard cord located under the hood of the tiller model outboard. Refer to Opening and Closing the Hood. Use this in case of emergency to get back underway in the event of loss of the lanyard.
  • Page 16 While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would when under power. Mercury Marine strongly recommends that other occupants be instructed on proper starting and operating procedures should they be required to operate the outboard in an emergency (if the operator is accidentally ejected).

  • Page 17: Hood Operation

    GENERAL INFORMATION KEEP THE LANYARD STOP SWITCH AND LANYARD CORD IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION Before each use, check to ensure the lanyard stop switch works properly. Power up, and engage the outboard and stop it by pulling the lanyard cord. If the outboard does not stop, have the switch repaired before operating the boat.

    GENERAL INFORMATION 4. Release the slotted hood lock, it should stay recessed in its locked position. Hood Slotted hood lock 78386 Protecting People in the Water WHILE BOAT IS IN OPERATION People in the water cannot take quick action to avoid a boat heading in their direction.

  • Page 19: Passenger Safety Message - Pontoon Boats And Deck Boats

    GENERAL INFORMATION WHILE THE BOAT IS STATIONARY WARNING A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers. Stop and power down the outboard immediately whenever anyone in the water is near the boat.

  • Page 20: Wave And Wake Jumping

    GENERAL INFORMATION BOATS WITH FRONT-MOUNTED, RAISED PEDESTAL FISHING SEATS Elevated fishing seats are not intended for use when the boat is traveling faster than idle or trolling speed. Sit only in seats designated for traveling at faster speeds. Any unexpected, sudden reduction in boat speed could result in the elevated passenger falling over the front of the boat.

  • Page 21: Impact With Underwater Hazards

    GENERAL INFORMATION There is another less common hazardous result from allowing the boat to launch off a wave or wake. If the bow of the boat pitches down far enough, upon water contact it may penetrate under the water surface and submarine for an instant.

  • Page 22: Outboard Secure Fastening To Transom Safety Instruction

    Operating a boat or outboard with impact damage can result in product damage, serious injury, or death. If the boat experiences any form of impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair the boat or power package. Outboard Secure Fastening to Transom Safety Instruction No person or cargo should occupy the area directly in front of the outboard while the boat is in motion.

  • Page 23: Safe Boating Recommendations

    Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways. • Mercury Marine recommends that all powerboat operators complete a boating safety course. In the U.S., the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron, the Red Cross, and the state or provincial boating law enforcement agency provide courses.
  • Page 24 Federal law requires that there be a U.S. Coast Guard‑approved life jacket (personal flotation device), correctly sized and readily accessible for every person onboard, plus a throwable cushion or ring. Mercury Marine strongly advises that everyone wear a life jacket at all times while in the boat.
  • Page 25 GENERAL INFORMATION Ensure that everyone in the boat is properly seated. • Do not allow anyone to sit or ride on any part of the boat that was not intended for such use. This includes the backs of seats, gunwales, transom, bow, decks, raised fishing seats, and any rotating fishing seat.
