Remote Steering Notice; Lanyard Stop Switch - Mercury 225 Manual

Remote Steering Notice

The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts. These
self‑locking nuts must never be replaced with common nuts
(non‑locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the
link rod to disengage.
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can
result in loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod.
This can cause a sudden, unexpected loss of boat control,
resulting in serious injury or death due to occupants being
thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.

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. Tiller handle outboards and some remote
control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the
dashboard or side adjacent to the operator's position.
