SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 22
FIRE HAZARD: Fuel leakage from any part of the fuel system can be a fire hazard
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Be careful when working on fuel system components; diesel fuel is flammable. Be
sure that the ignition key is OFF. Do NOT smoke or allow sources of open flame in
the area while working on fuel system components. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. Do NOT allow fuel to come into contact with any hot surface which may
cause it to ignite.
Dispose of fuel-soaked rags, paper, etc., in an appropriate air tight, fire retardant
container. Fuel-soaked items may spontaneously ignite and result in a fire hazard
which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
14. Close fuel shut off valve, if equipped.
15. Disconnect and suitably plug fuel lines to prevent fuel in tank from leaking into bilge.
16. Disconnect throttle cable from engine.
NOTE: After wires are disconnected be sure to loosen them from clamps or tie straps
retaining them to engine or hoses.
17. Disconnect trim sender wire connections from engine harness.
18. Disconnect MerCathode controller wires.
19. Close seacock if equipped, or disconnect and plug seawater inlet hose, if boat is to
remain in the water.
Before removing seawater inlet hose, close seacock, if equipped. If boat is not
equipped with a seacock, remove and plug seawater inlet hose to prevent a siphon-
ing action that may occur, allowing seawater to flow from the drain holes or re-
moved hoses.
