Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also a
possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, a
particular concern for passengers in the front of the boat who could be ejected over the
bow and possibly struck by the propulsion or steering components.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from accidental or
unintended stop switch activation. The boat operator should never leave the operator's
station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.

Your power package may be connected to the Mercury SC5000 SmartCraft System View
display. The display monitors and reports information ranging from basic operating data to
engine alarm data.
The SC5000 System View Display is a comprehensive boat information center. System
View allows the boat operator to receive a wealth of critical operational information,
displayed clearly and instantly at the helm on the LCD display. The System View
continuously monitors and reports information ranging from basic operating data to detailed
vessel environment information. System View displays water temperature and depth,
engine trim status, boat speed, steering angle, system preventive maintenance reminders
and systems diagnostics. System View also can be fully integrated with the boat's GPS, if
equipped, to provide up to the minute location, course, speed, and fuel‑to‑destination
information.
When a problem is detected with the engine or system, the System View will alert the
operator to the potential problem by displaying the alarm message in the information
window, located at the bottom of the view screen.
If the problem can cause immediate engine damage, the Engine Guardian System will
respond to the problem by limiting engine power. Immediately reduce throttle speed to idle.
Refer to the System View Operation Manual for further explanation of the problem and the
correct action to take.
