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.

Start in Gear Protection

WARNING

Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious injury or death.

Never operate a boat that does not have a neutral‑safety‑protection device.

The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped with a start in

neutral only protection device. This prevents the engine from starting in gear.

Fuel System

ACCESSORY ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP

IMPORTANT: Do not install an accessory electric fuel pump onto the fuel

system for this engine.

AVOIDING FUEL FLOW RESTRICTION

IMPORTANT: Adding components to the fuel supply system (filters, valves,

fittings, etc.) may restrict the fuel flow. This may cause engine stalling at low

speed, and/or a lean fuel condition at high RPM that could cause engine

damage.

LOW PERMEATION FUEL HOSE REQUIREMENT

Required for outboards manufactured for sale, sold, or offered for sale in the

United States.

•

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that any outboard

manufactured after January 1, 2009, must use low permeation fuel hose

for the primary fuel hose connecting the fuel tank to the outboard.

•

Low permeation hose is USCG Type B1‑15 or Type A1‑15, defined as not

exceeding 15/gm²/24 h with CE 10 fuel at 23 °C as specified in SAE J

1527 ‑ marine fuel hose.
