Replacement Parts
WARNING
Electrical, ignition and fuel system components on your Mercury Outboard are
designed and manufactured to comply with U. S. Coast Guard Rules and Regula-
tions to minimize risks of fire and explosions. Use of replacement electrical, igni-
tion or fuel system components, which do not comply with these rules and regu-
lations, could result in a fire or explosion hazard and should be avoided.
Recommended Battery
A 12 volt marine starting battery with a minimum Cold Cranking amperage rating of 490
amperes or 630 (minimum) Marine Cranking amperes should be used.
CAUTION
Deep-cycle batteries are not suitable for use as engine starting batteries or for
use as accessory batteries that are connected to high output engine charging
systems. Deep-cycle battery life may be shortened by high output engine charg-
ing systems. Refer to individual battery maker instructions for specific battery
charging procedures and applications.
