Drain Plug and Bilge Pump

The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to collect. For this reason, boats are normally
equipped with a drain plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on a regular basis to
ensure that the water level does not rise to come in contact with your power package. Components on your
engine will be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by submersion is not covered by the Mercury MerCruiser
Limited Warranty.
