Cleaning Care Recommendations
OUTBOARD CARE
To keep your outboard in the best operating condition, it is important that your
outboard receive the periodic inspections and maintenance listed in the
Inspection and Maintenance Schedule
. We urge you to keep it maintained
properly to ensure the safety of you and your passengers, and retain its
dependability.
Record maintenance performed in the
Maintenance Log
at the back of this
book. Save all maintenance work orders and receipts.
Selecting Replacement Parts For Your Outboard
We recommend using original Mercury Precision or Quicksilver replacement
parts and Genuine Lubricants.
DO NOT USE CAUSTIC CLEANING CHEMICALS
IMPORTANT: Do not use caustic cleaning chemicals on the outboard power
package. Some cleaning products contain strong caustic agents such as hull
cleaners with hydrochloric acid. These cleaners can degrade some of the
components they come in contact with including critical steering fasteners.
Damage to steering fasteners may not be obvious during visual inspection and
this damage may lead to catastrophic failure. Some caustic cleaning chemicals
may cause or accelerate corrosion. Exercise caution when using cleaning
chemicals around the engine and follow the recommendations on the
packaging of the cleaning product.
CLEANING GAUGES
IMPORTANT: Never use high‑pressure water to clean gauges.
Routine cleaning of the gauges is recommended to prevent a buildup of salt
and other environmental debris. Crystalized salt can scratch the gauge display
lens when using a dry or damp cloth. Ensure that the cloth has a sufficient
amount of fresh water to dissolve and remove salt or mineral deposits. Do not
apply aggressive pressure on the display lens while cleaning.
When water marks cannot be removed with a damp cloth, mix a 50/50 solution
of warm water and isopropyl alcohol to clean the display lens.
Do not use
acetone, mineral spirits, turpentine type solvents, or ammonia based cleaning
products. The use of strong solvents or detergents may damage the coating,
the plastics, or the rubber keys on the gauges. If the gauge has a sun cover
available, it is recommended that the cover be installed when the unit is not in
use to prevent UV damage to the plastic bezels and rubber keys.
CLEANING REMOTE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT: Never use high‑pressure water to clean remote controls.
