Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to collect. For this reason, boats are normally equipped with a
drain plug and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on a regular basis to ensure that the water level does not
come into contact with your power package. Components on your engine will be damaged if submerged. Damage caused by
submersion is not covered by the Mercury MerCruiser Limited Warranty.
Protecting People in the Water
While You Are Cruising
It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.
21604
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (even coasting) and the gear shift is in neutral, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller
to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can cause serious injury.
While Boat Is Stationary
!
WARNING
A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boat can cause serious injury or death to swimmers.
Stop the engine immediately whenever anyone in the water is near your boat.
Shift into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to swim or be in the water near your boat.
High‑Speed and High‑Performance Operation
If your boat is considered a high‑speed or high‑performance boat with which you are unfamiliar, we recommend that you never
operate it at its high speed capability without first requesting an initial orientation and demonstration ride with your dealer or an
operator experienced with your boat. For additional information, refer to
Hi-Performance Boat Operation
booklet (90‑849250‑R2)
from your dealer, distributor or Mercury Marine.
Passenger Safety in Pontoon Boats and Deck Boats
Whenever the boat is in motion, observe the location of all passengers. Do not allow any passengers to stand or use seats other
than those designated for traveling faster than idle speed. A sudden reduction in boat speed, such as plunging into a large wave
or wake, a sudden throttle reduction, or a sharp change of boat direction, could throw them over the front of boat. Falling over the
front of the boat between the two pontoons will position them to be run over.
Boats Having an Open Front Deck
No one should ever be on the deck in front of the fence while the boat is in motion. Keep all passengers behind the front fence or
enclosure.
Persons on the front deck could easily be thrown overboard or persons dangling their feet over the front edge could get their legs
caught by a wave and pulled into the water.
