Charging System Fusible Link
This model has a 100 ampere fusible link between the alternator
and the +12 volt stud. This fusible link protects the alternator
from damage due to accidental reverse battery connection. If the
battery cables are reversed, the fusible link creates an open
circuit, protecting the alternator. With the fusible link open, the
engine can be started; however, the run time is limited, because
the alternator is not charging the boat battery. If the fusible link
circuit becomes open, contact your authorized Mercury Marine
dealer.

Before installing or removing a propeller, place the drive unit in
neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch to prevent the
engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
