GENERAL INFORMATION
High‑Speed and High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your power package is to be used on 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 boat/
power package combination. For additional information, obtain a
copy of our Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your
dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

Paddle Wheel and Water Temperature Sensors

Paddle wheels cannot be utilized on vessels that are capable of
speeds in excess of 50 mph. Water temperature sensors cannot
be connected to Race Sterndrive engines that are equipped with
a Propulsion Control Module (PCM). The water temperatue sensor
connection is utilized by the PCM for monitoring engine oil
temperature.

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. A lanyard stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑
generally on the dashboard or side adjacent to the operator's
position.
