Important Information
Rigging boats, which includes proper engine installation, has
become more complex over the years. As a result, we
recommend our engines be installed only by Mercury authorized
dealers. If you intend to disregard this recommendation and
install the engine yourself, please make sure to read and comply
with these instructions. Failure to comply with these installation
instructions could lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING
Exceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause
serious injury or death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat
control and flotation characteristics or break the transom. Do
not install an engine that exceeds the boat's maximum power
rating.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable
power and load as determined by the manufacturer following
certain federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the
boat manufacturer.
