Operating in Freezing Temperatures
When using your outboard or having your outboard moored in
freezing or near freezing temperatures, keep the outboard tilted
down at all times so the gearcase is submerged. This prevents
the trapped water in the gearcase from freezing and causing
possible damage to the water pump and other components.
If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the outboard
should be removed and drained completely of water. If ice
should form at the water level inside the outboard driveshaft
housing, it will block water flow to the engine causing possible
damage.
Operating in Saltwater or Polluted Water
We recommend that you flush the internal water passages of
your outboard with fresh water after each use in salt or polluted
water. This will prevent a buildup of deposits from clogging the
water passages. Refer to Maintenance ‑ Flushing the Cooling
System.
If you keep your boat moored in the water, always tilt the
outboard so the gearcase is completely out of water (except in
freezing temperatures) when not in use.
Wash the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of
the propeller and gearcase with fresh water after each use. Each
month, spray Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Corrosion Guard
on external metal surfaces. Do not spray on corrosion control
anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness of the anodes.
