• Present‑day marine equipment, such as your Mercury
Marine power package, are highly technical pieces of
machinery. Electronic ignition and special fuel delivery
systems provide greater fuel economies, but increased
complexity for the untrained mechanic.
• Do not attempt any repairs that are not covered in this
manual unless you are aware of the precautions and
procedures required. Your safety is our concern.
• If you attempt to service the product yourself, we suggest
you order the service manual for that model. This manual
outlines 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.
• Special tools and equipment may be required to perform
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 for the repair.
• If you partially disassemble an engine or drive assembly and
are unable to repair it, the dealer's mechanic must
re‑assemble the components and test to determine the
problem. This will cost you more than taking it to the dealer
immediately upon having a problem. It may be a very simple
adjustment to correct the problem.
• Do not telephone the dealer, service office or the factory and
attempt to diagnose a problem or request the repair
procedure. It is difficult for them to diagnose a problem over
the telephone.
• Your authorized Mercury Marine dealer is there to service
your power package. They have qualified factory‑trained
mechanics.
