OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
62
Important Information
Rigging boats, which includes proper engine installation has become more complex over the years. As a result,
Mercury Marine recommends that engines be installed only by Mercury authorized dealers. If you intend to
disregard this recommendation, and install the engine yourself, please make sure to read and comply with these
instructions. Failure to comply with these installation instructions could lead to serious injury or death.
NOTE: Do not install an accessory electric fuel pump or a fuel line primer bulb into the fuel system of this engine.
Boat Horsepower Capacity

WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1) cause loss of boat control
2) place too much weight at the transom altering the designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3) cause
the boat to break apart particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury,
death or boat damage.
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.
