Flooded engine:
Too soft/short of pulls can result in a flooded engine. If you smell rich fuel and engine hasn’t started
after 6 or more pulls, you have probably flooded. If so disconnect fuel, turn throttle way up and pull
several strokes to clear. Try again. If still flooded, contact the dock staff. You may have to wait 20
minutes before retrying.
Engine Operation:
Cold outboards typically like to run at a moderate pace; Once they are warmed up they should idle and
run smoothly at low RPMs. Never run an engine high before it is warmed up as you can break cold
metal pieces. Running the engine in neutral a couple minutes after start (to warm up) as well as a
couple minutes before you kill the engine (to cool down) optimizes performance and increases engine
longevity. The challenge is keeping a good RPM (without operating at high speed inside the marina),
but slow enough to keep it from cutting out. It is best to utilize neutral whenever possible to rev up
engine and coast. Anytime you are shifting gears make sure to slow throttle speed to low. Shifting too
high can sever the shear pin which protects the transmission.
To achieve a tighter turn radius, angling the engine the same direction as the tiller can be very effective
especially in reverse.
Warning: Make sure engine is well secured with clamps turned tightly to the right. (Righty
tighty

) Never loosen these underway and risk dropping engine into the water. Also, the safety
line should be connected from engine to the boat. Especially with rough seas.
Stopping the engine
To shut down the engine, throttle down, put into neutral then pull off the kill switch. Once the engine
stops, disconnect fuel line. Next, hoist the engine out of the water by first shifting to forward gear and
tilt to completely clear. (Engine will not tilt unless it is shifted into forward.) Close tank vent.
Refueling-
Mercury 4 stroke engines
only
burn unleaded!
Not diesel or pre-mix
. Disconnect fuel line
from engine then close vent on tank. Carry to fuel dock downwind of boat to avoid filling cabin with
fumes. Fill tank watching closely for overflow. Fuel dock pumps do not have auto shut-off valves.
Once full, reconnect to engine, open valve, then go through start procedures. Only refuel if you had the
boat for an overnight. SSC will refuel day-sail charters.
Safety precautions:
Anytime you smell gas fumes in the cabin, do
not
start engine until you have completely ventilated the
boat by opening all compartments.
Never
leave the fuel tank up high in the cockpit when you are motoring outside of the marina. A falling
fuel tank could cause a fire!
