Do-It-Yourself Maintenance Suggestions
If you are one of those persons who likes to do-it-yourself, here are
some suggestions for you.
•
Present-day marine equipment, such as your MerCruiser power
package, are highly technical pieces of machinery. Electronic ig-
nition and special fuel injection systems provide greater fuel econ-
omies, but also are more complex for the untrained mechanic.
•
Do not attempt any repairs which are not covered in this manual
unless you are aware of the precautions (“Cautions” and “Warn-
ings”) and procedures required. Your safety is of our concern.
•
If you attempt to service the product yourself, we suggest you or-
der the service manual for that model. The service manual out-
lines the correct procedures to follow. It is written for the trained
mechanic, so there may be procedures you don’t understand. Do
not attempt repairs if you do not understand the procedures.
•
There are special tools and equipment that are required to per-
form some repairs. Do not attempt these repairs unless you have
these special tools and/or equipment. You can cause damage to
the product in excess of the cost a dealer would charge you.
