• Page 15
  GENERAL INFORMATION While activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, a boat will continue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn at shut down. However, the boat will not complete a full circle.

• Page 16: Protecting People In The Water

  GENERAL INFORMATION Protecting People in the Water WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his/her direction, even at slow speed. 21604 Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area where there might be people in the water.

• Page 17
  GENERAL INFORMATION 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. 26782 WARNING Sitting or standing in an area of the boat not designed for passengers at speeds above idle can cause serious injury or death.

• Page 18: Wave And Wake Jumping

  GENERAL INFORMATION Wave and Wake Jumping Operating recreational boats over waves and wake is a natural part of boating. However, when this activity is done with sufficient speed to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when the boat enters the water.

• Page 19
  GENERAL INFORMATION Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a boat in shallow water areas or in areas where you suspect underwater obstacles may exist that could be struck by the outboard or the boat bottom. The most significant action you can take to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a floating or underwater object is to control the boat speed.
• Page 20
  Operating a boat or engine with impact damage can result in product damage, serious injury, or death. If the vessel experiences any form of impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair the vessel or power package. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAND-TILLED OUTBOARDS No person or cargo should occupy the area directly in front of the outboard while the boat is in motion.

• Page 21: Exhaust Emissions

  GENERAL INFORMATION Exhaust Emissions BE ALERT TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that is present in the exhaust fumes of all internal combustion engines, including the engines that propel boats, and the generators that power boat accessories. By itself, CO is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, but if you can smell or taste engine exhaust, you are inhaling Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which are similar to the symptoms of seasickness and intoxication, include headache, dizziness,…

• Page 22
  GENERAL INFORMATION Example of desired air flow through the boat: 21622 POOR VENTILATION Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat. Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in an open area of a stationary boat that contains, or is near, a running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
