High‑Speed And High‑Performance Boat Operation
If your outboard is to be used on 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 boat/outboard
combination. For additional information, obtain a copy of our Hi‑Performance Boat Operation booklet from your
dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

Outboard Remote Control Models
The outboard must be equipped with a Mercury remote control designed for digital throttle and shift. Start in gear
protection is provided by the control system. This prevents the engine from starting when the shift is actuated in
any position other than neutral.

Remote Steering Notice
The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts.
These self‑locking nuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they will work loose and vibrate
off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
