Exhaust System
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer, or installing dealer, to
properly locate the engine. Improper installation may allow water to enter the expan-
sion chamber and combustion chambers and severely damage the engine. Damage
caused by water in the engine will not be covered by Mercury Marine Limited Warran-
ty, unless this damage is the result of defective part(s).
The engine must be properly located to ensure that water will not enter the engine through
the exhaust system. Determine the correct engine height by taking measurements (a) and
(b), with boat at rest in the water and maximum load aboard. Subtract (b) from (a) to find
(c). If (c) is less than specified in chart, boat construction must be altered to properly lower
waterline relative to exhaust chamber.
