GENERAL INFORMATION
26
The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures, transom fractures,
or water leaks.
Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to other
parts of the outboard, or could affect control of the boat. If continued running
is necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control. Continued boating
with major impact damage can result in sudden outboard component
failure with or without subsequent impacts. Have the outboard thoroughly
inspected and any necessary repairs made.
Selecting Accessories For Your Outboard
Genuine Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Accessories have been
specifically designed and tested for your outboard. These accessories are
available from Mercury Marine dealers.
!
WARNING
Check with your dealer before installation of accessories. The misuse of
acceptable accessories or the use of unacceptable accessories can
result in serious injury, death, or product failure.
Some accessories not manufactured or sold by Mercury Marine are not
designed to be safely used with your outboard or outboard operating
system. Acquire and read the installation, operation, and maintenance
manuals for all your selected accessories.
Safe Boating Suggestions
In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and
other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the
following suggestions.
Use flotation devices. Have an approved personal flotation device of
suitable size for each person aboard (it is the law) and have it readily
accessible.
Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for maximum
load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate). If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boats manufacturer.
Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regular
schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made.
