Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat; Transporting Portable Fuel Tanks - Mercury 10/15 Sea Pro/Marathon - 6/8/9.9/10/15 HP User Manual

Set the gear shift into forward gear. This prevents the propeller from
spinning freely.

Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat

1. With the outboard still in the water, disconnect the fuel line from the
outboard and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from the
carburetor. Remove outboard from the boat and hold upright until all
cooling water is drained out.
2. Lay the outboard down horizontally on its tiller handle side. Place a
protective pad under the outboard.

Transporting Portable Fuel Tanks

Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Follow
portable fuel tank transporting instructions. Transport the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area away from open flame or sparks.

of fuel or vapors from tank.
AUTO-VENTING TYPE FUEL TANK

and prevent escape of fuel or vapors from tank.
