Operating in Saltwater or Polluted Water
We recommend that you flush the internal water passages of
your outboard with fresh water after each use in salt or polluted
water. This will prevent a buildup of deposits from clogging the
water passages. Refer to Maintenance ‑ Flushing the Cooling
System.
If you keep your boat moored in the water, always tilt the
outboard so the gearcase is completely out of water (except in
freezing temperatures) when not in use.
Wash the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of
the propeller and gearcase with fresh water after each use. Each
month, spray Mercury Precision or Quicksilver Corrosion Guard
on external metal surfaces. Do not spray on corrosion control
anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness of the anodes.
Pre‑Starting Instructions
1. Connect the remote fuel line to the outboard. Make sure
connector is snapped into place.
