Operating At High Elevations
Operating your outboard at an elevation higher than 2500 ft. (750 m) above sea level
may require a carburetor jet change. Consult your dealer. This will reduce the normal
performance loss experienced as a result of reduced oxygen in the air causing an
overly rich fuel mixture.
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious damage to the engine caused by a lean fuel
mixture, DO NOT operate your outboard (if the carburetor jets were changed
for high elevation) at a lower elevation unless the jets are changed again to
correspond to the new elevation.

Operating In Salt Water Or Polluted Water
If you keep your boat moored in the water, always tilt the outboard so the water intake
is completely out of water (except in freezing temperature) when not in use.
Wash down the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of the jet drive with
fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Quicksilver or Mercury Precision
Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces.
