5. Throttle only mode is deactivated by moving the control lever to the idle/neutral position.
Moving the control lever from the idle/neutral position to the idle/forward or idle/reverse
position without pressing the throttle only button will shift the unit into the chosen gear.
Trailering the Boat
Your boat can be trailered with the sterndrive unit in the up or down position. Adequate
clearance is required between the road and sterndrive when transporting.
If adequate road clearance is a problem, place the sterndrive unit in full trailer position and
support it with an optional trailer kit which is available from your authorized Mercury
MerCruiser dealer.
Freezing Temperature Operation
IMPORTANT: If the boat is operated during periods of freezing temperature, precautions
must be taken to prevent freeze damage to the power package. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by Mercury MerCruiser Limited Warranty.
Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to collect. For this reason,
boats are normally equipped with a drain plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to
check these items on a regular basis to ensure that the water level does not come into
contact with your power package. Components on your engine will be damaged if
submerged. Damage caused by submersion is not covered by the Mercury MerCruiser
Limited Warranty.
Protecting People In The Water
While You Are Cruising
It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in
their direction, even at slow speeds.
21604
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where
there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (even coasting) and the gear shift is in neutral, there is sufficient
force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller
rotation can cause serious injury.
While Boat Is Stationary
!
WARNING
Stop your engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat. Serious
injury to the person in the water is likely if contacted by a rotating propeller, a moving
boat, a moving gearcase, or any solid device rigidly attached to a moving boat or
gearcase.
Shift into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water
near your boat.
