Submerged Outboard
A submerged outboard will require service within a few hours by an authorized dealer once the outboard is recovered from the
water. This immediate attention by a servicing dealer is necessary once the engine is exposed to the atmosphere to minimize
internal corrosion damage to the engine.
Exterior Care
Your outboard is protected with a durable baked enamel finish. Clean and wax often using marine cleaners and waxes.
Flushing the Cooling System
Flush the internal water passages of the outboard with fresh water after each use in salt, polluted, or muddy water. This will
help prevent a buildup of deposits from clogging the internal water passages.
Use a Mercury Precision or Quicksilver accessory (or equivalent) flushing attachment.
NOTE: Do not run the engine while flushing the cooling system.
1. Remove the plug and gasket.
2. Attach the hose coupling to the engine.
3. Attach a water hose to the hose coupling. Turn on the water gently and flush the cooling system for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Turn the water off. Remove the hose coupling and reinstall the plug and gasket.
