Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power
and load as determined by the manufacturer following certain
federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat
manufacturer.

High‑Speed and High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your Mercury Jet Drive is to be used in 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 familiarization
demonstration ride with your dealer or an operator experienced
with your Mercury Jet Drive. For additional information, obtain a
copy of our Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your
dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.
Towing the Watercraft in Water
If towing a stranded Mercury Jet Drive powered watercraft in water,
the towing speed must be slow. Keep the towing speed at or
around idle speed.
Keeping the towing speed slow will prevent water from being
forced up through the exhaust system and into the engine. Water
entering the engine can cause damage to internal engine parts.
Mercury Jet Drive Remote Control
The remote control connected to your Mercury Jet Drive must be
equipped with a start‑in‑gear protection device. This prevents the
engine from starting when the Mercury Jet Drive is in forward or
reverse.
