! WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
! CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in engine or major component failure.
Precautions
It should be kept in mind, while working on the product, that the electrical and ignition systems are capable of violent and
damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. When performing any work where electrical terminals could possibly be
grounded or touched by the mechanic, the battery cables should be disconnected at the battery.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings are exposed during service they should be covered to protect against accidental
entrance of foreign material into the cylinders which could cause extensive internal damage when the engine is started.
During any maintenance procedure, replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as those
removed. Numbers on the heads of the metric bolts and on the surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. American bolts
use radial lines for this purpose, while most American nuts do not have strength markings. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners
can result in damage or malfunction, or possibly personal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed should be saved for reuse in the
same locations whenever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for reuse, care should be taken to select a
replacement that matches the original.
Replacement Parts
Use of parts other than the recommended service replacement parts will void the warranty on those parts that are damaged as
a result.
! WARNING
Avoid fire or explosion hazard. Electrical, ignition, and fuel system components on Mercury Marine products comply with
federal and international standards to minimize risk of fire or explosion. Do not use replacement electrical or fuel system
components that do not comply with these standards. When servicing the electrical and fuel systems, properly install and
tighten all components.

Cleanliness and Care of Product
A Mercury Marine Power Product is a combination of many machined, honed, polished, and lapped surfaces with tolerances
measured in the ten thousands of an inch/mm. When any product component is serviced, care and cleanliness are important. It
should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is a part of the repair
procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever components are removed for service, they should be retained in order. At the time of installation, they should be
installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed.
Personnel should not work on or under an engine that is suspended. Engines should be attached to work stands, or lowered to
ground as soon as possible.

Gearcase Lubrication
When adding or changing gearcase lubricant, visually check for the presence of water in the lubricant. If water is present, it may
have settled to the bottom and will drain out prior to the lubricant, or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving it a milky colored
appearance. If water is noticed, have the gearcase checked by your dealer. Water in the lubricant may result in premature
bearing failure or, in freezing temperatures, will turn to ice and damage the gearcase.
Examine the drained gearcase lubricant for metal particles. A small amount of metal particles indicates normal gear wear. An
excessive amount of metal filings or larger particles (chips) may indicate abnormal gear wear and should be checked by an
authorized dealer.
Draining Gearcase
1. Place the outboard in a vertical operating position.
2. Remove the propeller. Refer to Propeller Replacement.
3. Place the drain pan below the outboard.

Storage
Storage Preparation
The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to protect it from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by
freezing of trapped water.
The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage
(two months or longer).
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide
a sufficient supply of water to the water inlets during operation.
Fuel System
IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or methanol) can cause a formation of acid during storage and can damage
the fuel system. If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as much of the remaining gasoline as
possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel line, and engine fuel system.
IMPORTANT: This outboard is equipped with a closed fuel system when the engine is not running. With this closed system,
fuel within the engine's fuel system, other than the fuel tank, will remain stable during normal storage periods without the
addition of fuel treatment stabilizers.
Fill the fuel tank and engine fuel system with treated (stabilized) fuel to help prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed
with the following instructions.
Portable fuel tank Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container)
into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.
Permanently installed fuel tank Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on
container) into a separate container and mix with approximately one liter (one quart) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel
tank.
Gearcase
Drain and refill the gearcase lubricant (refer to Gearcase Lubrication).
NOTICE
Storing the outboard in a tilted position can damage the outboard. Water trapped in the cooling passages or rain water
collected in the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase can freeze. Store the outboard in the full down position.
Battery Storage
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for storage and charging.
Remove the battery from the boat and check water level. Charge if necessary.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Periodically check the water level and charge the battery during storage.

Bottom of Boat
For maximum speed, a boat bottom should be nearly a flat plane where it contacts the water and particularly straight and
smooth in fore and aft direction.
Hook: Exists when bottom is concave in fore and aft direction when viewed from the side. When boat is planing, hook
causes more lift on bottom near transom and allows bow to drop, thus greatly increasing wetted surface and reducing boat
speed. Hook frequently is caused by supporting boat too far ahead of transom while hauling on a trailer or during storage.
Rocker: The reverse of hook and much less common. Rocker exists if bottom is convex in fore and aft direction when
viewed from the side, and boat has strong tendency to porpoise.
Surface roughness: Moss, barnacles, etc., on boat or corrosion of outboard's gear housing increase skin friction and
cause speed loss. Clean surfaces when necessary.
Water Absorption
It is imperative that all throughthehull fasteners be coated with a quality marine sealer at time of installation. Water intrusion
into the transom core and/or inner hull will result in additional boat weight (reduced boat performance), hull decay, and eventual
structural failure.
Cavitation
Cavitation occurs when water flow cannot follow the contour of a fastmoving underwater object, such as a gear housing or a
propeller. Cavitation increases propeller speed while reducing boat speed. Cavitation can seriously erode the surface of the
gear housing or the propeller. Common causes of cavitation are:
Weeds or other debris snagged on the propeller
Bent propeller blade
Raised burrs or sharp edges on the propeller
Ventilation
Ventilation is caused by surface air or exhaust gases that are introduced around the propeller resulting in propeller speedup
and a reduction in boat speed. Air bubbles strike the propeller blade and cause erosion of the blade surface. If allowed to
continue, eventual blade failure (breakage) will occur. Excessive ventilation is usually caused by:
Drive unit trimmed out too far
A missing propeller diffuser ring
A damaged propeller or gear housing, which allows exhaust gases to escape between propeller and gear housing
Drive unit installed too high on transom
Detonation
Detonation in a 4cycle engine resembles the pinging heard in an automobile engine. It can be otherwise described as a tinlike
rattling or plinking sound.
Detonation is the explosion of the unburned fuel/air charge after the spark plug has fired. Detonation creates severe shock
waves in the engine. These shock waves often find or create a weakness: the dome of a piston, cylinder head or gasket, piston
rings or piston ring lands, piston pin, and roller bearings.
A few of the most common causes of detonation in a marine 4cycle application are as follows:
Overadvanced ignition timing
Use of low octane gasoline
Propeller pitch too high: engine RPM below recommended maximum range
Lean fuel mixture at, or near, wideopen throttle
Fuel Ratings
Mercury Marine engines will operate satisfactorily when using a major brand of unleaded gasoline meeting the following
specifications:
USA and Canada having a posted pump octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2 minimum. Premium gasoline (92 [R+M]/2 octane) is
also acceptable. Do not use leaded gasoline.
Outside USA and Canada having a posted pump octane rating of 90 RON minimum. Premium gasoline (98 RON) is also
acceptable. If unleaded gasoline is not available, use a major brand of leaded gasoline.
! WARNING
Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious injury or death. Periodically inspect all fuel system
components for leaks, softening, hardening, swelling, or corrosion, particularly after storage. Any sign of leakage or
deterioration requires replacement before further engine operation.
Because of possible adverse effects of alcohol in gasoline, it is recommended that only alcoholfree gasoline be used where
possible. If only fuel containing alcohol is available, or if the presence of alcohol is unknown, increased inspection frequency for
leaks and abnormalities is required.
IMPORTANT: When operating a Mercury Marine engine on gasoline containing alcohol, storage of gasoline in the fuel tank for
long periods should be avoided. Long periods of storage, common to boats, create unique problems. In cars, alcoholblend
fuels normally are consumed before they can absorb enough moisture to cause trouble, but boats often sit idle long enough for
phase separation to take place. In addition, internal corrosion may take place during storage if alcohol has washed protective
oil films from internal components.
Fill the fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Remove the portable fuel tanks from the boat to fill them.
Always stop the engine before filling the tanks.
Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its
temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.

Warning System
Warning Horn Signals
When the key switch is turned to the ON position, the horn will turn on for a moment as a test to indicate the horn is working.
The warning horn will emit either a continuous beep or short intermittent beeps. This will alert the operator and help identify the
following listed situations. For visual display of the specific engine functions and for additional engine data, refer to SmartCraft
Product information, following.
Warning Horn
Function Sound Description
Start up Single beep Normal system test.
Low battery Four beeps Battery charging unable to keep up with demand. Raise the engine speed to
every 2 minutes increase charge, or shut down accessories to reduce the demand.
Cooling system Continuous The Engine Guardian System is activated. Power limit will vary with the level of
problem overheat. Shift the outboard into neutral and check for a steady stream of water
coming out of the water pump indicator hole. If no water is coming out of the water
pump indicator hole, or flow is intermittent, stop the engine and check the water
intake holes for obstruction.
Oil pressure low Continuous The Engine Guardian System is activated. Power limit will vary depending on the
available oil pressure. Stop the engine and check the oil dipstick. Add oil if
necessary. Refer to Section 1B Checking and Adding Engine Oil.
Engine overspeed Continuous The warning horn is activated any time the engine speed exceeds the maximum
allowable RPM. The system will limit the engine speed to within the allowable range.
Engine overspeed indicates a condition that should be corrected. Overspeed could
be caused by incorrect propeller pitch, engine height, trim angle, tilt angle (shallow
water operation) etc.
Single beep May be a problem with one of the engine functions.
Sensor/Actuator (engine running)
out of range Continuous The Engine Guardian System is activated. Power limit will restrict the engine speed
to either idle or 55%, depending on the fault.

b 20760
! WARNING
Trimming the outboard beyond a neutral steering condition may result in a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle and loss
of boat control. Maintain control of the boat if trimming beyond a neutral steering condition.
! WARNING
Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the
operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the
boat in a safe manner.
In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless
steel tilt pin from your dealer and inserting it in whatever adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. The
nonstainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in this application other than on a temporary basis.
Tilting Operation
To tilt the outboard, shut off the engine and press the trim/tilt switch or auxiliary tilt switch to the up position. The outboard will
tilt up until the switch is released or it reaches its maximum tilt position.
1. Engage the tilt support lever by rotating the knob to bring the support lever upward.
2. Lower the outboard to rest on the tilt support lever.
3. Disengage the tilt support lever by raising the outboard off the support lever and rotating the lever down. Lower the
outboard.
b
27778
Manual Tilting
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can be manually tilted.
NOTE: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up
during reverse operation.
Turn out the manual tilt release valve three turns counterclockwise. This allows manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard
to the desired position and tighten the manual tilt release valve.

Compression Check
Engine compression should be checked with the engine block at operating temperatures, all spark plugs removed, and using a
fully charged battery.
1. Remove spark plugs.
2. Install compression gauge in spark plug hole.
a - Compression gauge
a b - 14 mm adapter
5525
NOTE: Cylinder leakage testing, along with compression testing, can help the mechanic pinpoint the source of a mechanical
failure by gauging the amount of leakage in an engine cylinder. Refer to the manufacturer's tester instructions for proper testing
procedures.
Analysis
Due to standard engine tolerances and engine wear, no cylinder will maintain a 0% of leakage. It is important only that cylinders
have somewhat consistent reading between them. Differences of 15 to 30% indicate excessive leakage. Larger engines tend to
have a larger percentage of cylinder leakage than smaller engines.
If excessive leakage is present, first check that the piston is at top dead center of its compression stroke. Leakage will naturally
occur if the exhaust or intake valve is open.
To determine the cause of high percentage leaks, you must locate where the air is escaping from. Listen for air escaping
through the intake, adjacent spark plug holes, exhaust pipe, and crankcase oil fill plug. Use the following table to aid in locating
the source of cylinder leakage.
Painting Procedures
! WARNING
Continuous exposure to airborne particles such as chemical vapors, dust, or spray can cause serious injury or death. Ensure
that the work area is properly ventilated and wear protective eyeware, clothing, and respirators.
Propellers
1. Sand the entire area to be painted with 3M 120 Regalite Polycut or coarse ScotchBrite disc or belts.
2. Feather edges of all broken paint edges. Try not to sand through the primer.
3. Clean the surface to be painted using PPG Industries DX330 Wax and Grease Remover or equivalent (Xylene or M.E.K.).
4. If bare metal has been exposed, use Mercury/Quicksilver Light Gray Primer.
5. Allow a minimum of one hour dry time and no more than one week before applying the finish coat.
6. Apply the finish coat using Mercury/Quicksilver EDP Propeller Black.
Gear Housing
The following procedures should be used in refinishing gear housings. This procedure will provide the most durable paint
system available in the field. The materials recommended are of high quality and approximate marine requirements. The
following procedure will provide a repaint job that compares with a properly applied factory paint finish. It is recommended the
listed materials be purchased from a local Ditzler Automotive Finish Supply Outlet. The minimum package quantity of each
material shown following is sufficient to refinish several gear housings.
1. Wash the gear housing with a muriatic acid base cleaner to remove any type of marine growth, and rinse with water.
2. Wash the gear housing with soap and water. Rinse with clean water.
3. Sand blistered area with 3M 180 grit sandpaper or P180 Gold Film Disc to remove paint blisters only. Feather edge all
broken paint edges.
4. Clean gear housing thoroughly with DX330 Wax and Grease Remover.
5. Spot repair surfaces where bare metal is exposed with DX503 Alodine Treatment.
IMPORTANT: Do not use aerosol spray paints as the paint will not properly adhere to the surface, nor will the coating be
sufficiently thick to resist future paint blistering.
6. Mix Epoxy Chromate Primer DP90LF with equal part catalyst DP402LF per the manufacturer's instructions. Allow proper
induction period for permeation of the epoxy primer and catalyst.
7. Allow a minimum of one hour drying time and no more than one week before the top coat application.
8. Use Ditzler Urethane DU9300 for Mercury Black, DU34334 for Mariner Grey, DU35466 for Force Charcoal, DU33414M for
Sea Ray White, and DFHS 37372H for Verado Silver. Catalyze all five colors with Ditzler DU5 catalyst mixed 1:1 ratio.
Reduce with solvents per Ditzler label.
! WARNING
Continuous exposure to airborne particles such as chemical vapors, dust, or spray can cause serious injury or death. Ensure
that the work area is properly ventilated and wear protective eyeware, clothing, and respirators.
NOTE: Apply one half to one mil even film thickness with a spray gun. Allow the paint to flash off for five minutes before
applying the second even coat of one half to one mil film thickness. Urethane paint will dry to the touch in a matter of
hours, but will remain sensitive to scratches and abrasions for a few days.
9. The type of spray gun used will determine the proper reduction ratio of the paint.
IMPORTANT: Do not paint the sacrificial anode.
10. Cut out a cardboard plug for trim tab pocket to keep paint off of mating surface to maintain good continuity circuitry
between trim tab and gear housing.
Decal Removal
1. Mark decal location before removal to assure proper alignment of new decal.
2. Carefully soften decal and decal adhesive with a heat gun or heat blower while removing old decal.
3. Clean decal contact area with a 1:1 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water.
4. Thoroughly dry decal contact area and check for a completely cleaned surface.
Decal Application
Application Tips
1. Ensure that the surrounding work area and the surface are properly cleaned to avoid contamination.
2. Ensure that the surface and the ambient air temperature is within the specified range.
3. Ensure that your hands are clean and dry.
4. Ensure that the paper liner on the decal does not become wet. A wet paper liner is very difficult to remove.
5. Use the recommended plastic applicator. The applicator should be new and must not be damaged.
a. If the decal has a premask, use the squeegee only.
b. If the decal does not have a premask, use a low friction sleeve or felt squeegee to prevent scratching or damaging
the decal and cowl.
6. Use firm pressure on the squeegee with overlapping strokes.
7. Remove the premask and application tape at a 180 angle to the decal.
8. Puncture the air bubbles with an air release tool or straight pin. Do not use a knife or razor blade.
9. Immediately squeegee the entire decal after removing the premask tape.
50526
4. Align the decal and secure one side of the decal with your hand.
5. Lightly hinge the decal in half to expose the liner tape and remove the liner paper.
6. Apply a little tension to the decal and squeegee the entire decal from the center towards the outside edge with overlapping
strokes.
7. Lightly hinge the other half of the decal to expose the liner tape and remove the liner paper.
8. Apply a little tension to the decal and squeegee the entire decal from the center towards the outside edge with overlapping
strokes. Be sure to overlap the outside edge of the decal with the squeegee.
9. Inspect the decal closely for entrapped air bubbles. Use the squeegee to push the air bubble to the outside edge.
10. Remove the premask liner from the decal beginning at one corner and carefully pull the premask liner off and onto itself at
a 180 angle.
IMPORTANT: When the premask is removed from the decal, the pulling force loosens the adhesive at the edges of the
decal. It is imperative to squeegee the entire decal with special attention to the edges of the decal.
50338
11. Do not allow the premask to remain on the decal for more than 24 hours after installation.
12. Squeegee the complete decal including all edges after the premask liner has been removed.

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.
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.
The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped with a start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the
engine from starting in gear.

Trim In Pin
! WARNING
Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the
operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the
boat in a safe manner.
Some boats, particularly some bass boats, are built with a greater than normal transom angle, which will allow the outboard to
be trimmed further in or under. This greater trim under capability is desirable to improve acceleration, reduce the angle and
time spent in a bow high boat during planing off, and in some cases, may be necessary to plane off a boat with aft livewells,
given the variety of available propellers and height range of engine installations.
However, once on plane, the engine should be trimmed to a more intermediate position to avoid a bowdown planing condition
called plowing. Plowing can cause bow steering or oversteering and inefficiently consumes horsepower.
2688
The owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless steel tilt pin from your dealer and
insert it in whatever adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. A nonstainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in
this application other than on a temporary basis.

Storage Preparation
The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to protect it from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by
freezing of trapped water.
The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage
(two months or longer).
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide
a sufficient supply of water to the water inlets during operation.
Fuel System
IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or methanol) can cause a formation of acid during storage and can damage
the fuel system. If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as much of the remaining gasoline as
possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel line, and engine fuel system.
IMPORTANT: This outboard is equipped with a closed fuel system when the engine is not running. With this closed system,
fuel within the engine's fuel system, other than the fuel tank, will remain stable during normal storage periods without the
addition of fuel treatment stabilizers.
Fill the fuel tank and engine fuel system with treated (stabilized) fuel to help prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed
with the following instructions.
Portable fuel tank Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container)
into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.
Permanently installed fuel tank Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on
container) into a separate container and mix with approximately one liter (one quart) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel
tank.
Gearcase
Drain and refill the gearcase lubricant.
NOTICE
Storing the outboard in a tilted position can damage the outboard. Water trapped in the cooling passages or rain water
collected in the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase can freeze. Store the outboard in the full down position.
Battery Storage
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for storage and charging.
Remove the battery from the boat and check water level. Charge if necessary.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Periodically check the water level and charge the battery during storage.

Ignition Coil
Ignition Coils
The primary (+) side of the ignition coil receives battery voltage from the main power relay. When the key switch is turned "ON,"
the main power relay ground circuit is completed through the ECM. The main power relay transfers battery voltage to the two
coils. The coils are protected with a 20amp fuse. The negative side of the coil is connected to the engine ground through the
ECM. When this circuit is closed, a magnetic field is built up in the ignition coils. When the ECM is supplied with a trigger signal,
the ECM opens the circuit and the magnetic field collapses across the coil secondary winding, creating a high voltage charge
that is sent to the spark plugs.
Each coil supplies spark to two cylinders. The ignition system is a wasted spark design, where each coil fires once every
revolution.

Battery
Battery Cable Test
This test is used to determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery's positive or negative cables, or if the cable is sized
properly to carry the necessary current needed to crank the engine at the proper RPM.
IMPORTANT: This test must be performed while the starter is cranking the engine. This engine starter is controlled by the
ECM. The starter can be engaged with the key switch or the CDS G3 diagnostic interface tool. Ignore any voltage readings
taken without the circuit under load.
! WARNING
Moving parts can cause serious injury or death. Wear eye protection and keep hands, hair, and clothing away from moving
parts when performing tests or checking adjustments on an operating engine.
1. Perform a load test on the battery following the instructions supplied with the load tester. Ensure the battery is brought to a
full charge after being tested.
2. Disconnect the fuel supply module fuel pump harness connector from the engine harness.
3. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and release the fuel pressure into an appropriate
container. Ensure there is no spilled fuel while performing the following tests.
4. Engage the engine start process with the key switch or the CDS G3 diagnostic interface tool. While the starter spins the
engine over, measure the voltage across the battery posts, not the cable clamps. Record the voltage reading. If the voltage
is less than 10 VDC, replace the battery.
NOTE: The voltage reading in step 4 is the base voltage. The base voltage reading will be compared to the voltage
readings obtained in the following steps.
5. Wait 30 seconds and engage the engine start process with the key switch or the CDS G3 diagnostic interface tool. While
the starter spins the engine over, measure the voltage from the battery positive post (not the cable clamp) to the starter
post (the stud where the battery positive cable is connected). Record the voltage reading.
6. Wait 30 seconds and engage the engine start process with the key switch or the CDS G3 diagnostic interface tool. While
the starter spins the engine over, measure the voltage from the starter case to the battery negative post (not the cable
clamp). Record the voltage reading.
7. If the voltage reading in step 5 was more than 1.0 VDC different from the base voltage reading:
a. Check the cable connections for tightness and corrosion.
b. If the cable is tight and not corroded, replace the cable with a larger diameter cable.
8. If the voltage reading in step 6 was more than 1.0 VDC different from the base voltage reading:
a. Check the cable connections for tightness and corrosion.
b. If the cable is tight and not corroded, replace the cable with a larger diameter cable.
IMPORTANT: Resistance in the cables can cause a voltage drop and limit current to the starter. If corrosion is present, or if
the starter is worn, there may not be enough amperage to turn the starter motor.
NOTE: This engine is equipped with SmartStart circuitry. If the voltage at the starter is low, the engine control module
(ECM) prevents the starter motor from engaging.
9. Connect the FSM fuel pump harness connector to the engine harness.

Replacement Parts
! WARNING
Avoid fire or explosion hazard. Electrical, ignition, and fuel system components on Mercury Marine products comply with
federal and international standards to minimize risk of fire or explosion. Do not use replacement electrical or fuel system
components that do not comply with these standards. When servicing the electrical and fuel systems, properly install and
tighten all components.
IMPORTANT: Deepcycle batteries are not suitable for use as engine starting batteries or for use as accessory batteries that
are connected to high output engine charging systems. Deepcycle battery life may be shortened by high output engine
charging systems. Refer to individual battery manufacturer instructions for specific battery charging procedures and
applications.
Recommended Battery
A 12 volt marine battery with a minimum cold cranking amperage rating of 800 amperes or 1000 (minimum) marine cranking
amperes or 65 Ah (Amperes Hour) should be used.
Flywheel
The flywheel is balanced to improve engine running characteristics. The flywheel is secured to the crankshaft by a screw (M20
x 168) (30 mm socket) and washer. The ring gear at the bottom of the flywheel is used with the starter motor to start the engine.
The flywheel has 22 teeth with 2 teeth missing at specific locations. As the teeth pass the crankshaft position sensor, an
electrical pulse is generated and sent to the engine control module (ECM). The frequency of these pulses in conjunction with
the missing tooth locations on the ring gear provides crankshaft location information to the ECM. The ECM will use this
information to regulate ignition and fuel injector timing.
The flywheel assembly contains 12 permanently charged ceramic magnets, spaced 30 apart, which are bonded into the inner
wall of the flywheel. The magnets alternate between north or south pole providing an 18 pole, three phase charging system.
Flywheel Removal
The flywheel has three threaded holes which are used with flywheel puller/lifting ring to remove the flywheel. These three holes
can also be used with the flywheel puller/lifting ring to remove or install the complete outboard on a boat.
IMPORTANT: Striking or heating the flywheel to ease removal will damage the flywheel. Do not strike or heat the flywheel.
1. Remove the flywheel cover.

Flywheel Installation
IMPORTANT: Clean flywheel/crankshaft taper with solvent and assemble dry.
1. Install the flywheel key into the crankshaft.
2. Align the flywheel with the key and install the flywheel onto the crankshaft.
Notice

Flywheel
The flywheel assembly contains twelve permanently charged ceramic magnets, spaced 30 apart, which are bonded into the
inner wall of the flywheel. The magnets alternate between north or south pole providing an 18 pole, three phase charging
system.
Stator
The stator assembly, located under the flywheel, contains 18 "T" poles wound in series which provides three phase AC voltage
to the voltage regulator.
As the flywheel permanent magnets pass the stator windings, an AC current is produced at each winding as the magnet
polarity changes across them.
Battery
A 12 volt battery with a minimum rating of 1000 marine cranking amps (MCA) or 800 cold cranking amps (CCA) is
recommended. For operation below 0 C (32 F), a rating of 1000 marine cranking amps (MCA) or 900 cold cranking amps
(CCA) is recommended.
Voltage Regulator/Recifier
The voltage regulator is an electronic device that regulates alternator output according to the accessory loads and the charge
level of the battery. The voltage regulator manages the alternator output according to operating conditions. The voltage
regulator must balance the needs of a fully charged battery, long battery life, and accessory loads.
Symptoms of a faulty voltage regulator may include a discharged battery, short battery life, poor accessory and lighting
operation, frequent bulb replacement, lower than normal voltmeter readings, or frequent topping off of the battery's electrolyte.
Alternator output
At 1000 RPM 23 amps
At 5000 RPM 35 amps
8. A reading in excess of 35 amps at 5000 RPM and the battery at 12.6 volts indicates the charging system is functioning
properly.
9. If the ammeter reads less than the required amps at 5000 RPM, test the stator. Refer to Stator Resistance Test. If the
stator tests within specification, replace the voltage regulator/rectifier.
NOTE: The voltage regulator reduces the charging current as the battery voltage increases. Maximum current is produced
with the battery voltage at 12.6 volts.

Boat Sensor
The boat sensor harness connector is a junction location for sensors external of the engine operations. These external sensors
may include: depth, paddle wheel for low speeds, seawater temperature, fuel, and water levels and is most useful when
incorporating SmartCraft gauges, GPS, and chart plotter technologies.
NOTE: All accessory sensor ground wires are 5 volts negative. They are spliced together and connect to the ECM at pin
10. All accessory sensor power wires are 5 volts positive. They are spliced together and connect to the ECM at pin 51.
Unless there are multiple sensor failures, the most likely failure would be at the splice point, connector, or between the
connector and the splice point.

The intake manifold is located on the starboard side of the engine. It is mounted to the cylinder block and cylinder head. The
intake manifold is the mounting component for the throttle body, idle air control (IAC), manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
sensor, and manifold air temperature (MAT) sensor. The intake manifold is manufactured with a material that is extremely
strong, lightweight, and noncorrosive.
The intake manifold is designed with four runners to provide a smooth air flow to each of the combustion chambers. The
individual runners to the combustion chambers significantly increases the distribution of fuel atomization density within the
combustion chamber, producing a more complete combustion of the fuel air mix, which increases the fuel economy and
provides more horsepower.
Throttle Body
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold. The throttle body is mechanically operated with a throttle linkage connected
to a cantilever throttle lever on the starboard side of the engine behind the intake manifold. The cantilever throttle lever position
is controlled at the helm through the remote control assembly or the tiller handle.

Fuel Injector
The fuel injector is an electrically operated springloaded solenoid which delivers a metered amount of fuel into the intake
manifold runner, just ahead of the intake valve. The injectors are electrically charged when the key switch is turned to the "ON"
position. The ECM controls the injection by completing the ground circuit, lifting the solenoid, which allows highpressure fuel to
flow. The ECM then opens the ground circuit, allowing the spring to close the injector and stop the fuel flow. The fuel injector is
not serviceable. The fuel injector has an orifice plate which contains small holes. The orifice plate design allows for a better
atomization of the fuel with the air. The injectors spray the fuel directly at the intake valves. An injector filter is located on the
fuel inlet side of the injector. The filter is not replaceable but can be cleaned of debris.

AntiSiphon Valves
While antisiphon valves may be helpful from a safety standpoint, they clog with debris, they may be too small, or they may
have too heavy a spring. The pressure drop across these valves can, and often does, create operational problems and/or
powerhead damage by restricting fuel to the fuel lift pump and, subsequently, the highpressure fuel pump. Some symptoms of
restricted (lean) fuel flow, which could be caused by use of an antisiphon valve, are:
Severe fuel rail pressure fluctuation
Loss of fuel pump pressure
High speed surging
Outboard cuts out or hesitates upon acceleration
Outboard runs rough
Outboard quits and cannot be restarted
Outboard will not start
Vapor lock
A simple method of checking if an antisiphon valve (or bad fuel) is a problem source is to operate the outboard with fresh fuel
in a portable fuel tank. This will isolate problems caused by overly restrictive antisiphon devices or bad fuel.
If, after using a separate fuel supply, it is found that the antisiphon valve is the cause of the problem, there are two solutions to
the problem; either 1) replace the antisiphon valve with one that has a lighter spring tension, or 2) replace it with a
solenoidoperated fuel shut off valve.

NOTE: Shake or move the harness and connector when performing the following tests. If the meter readings change
during the tests, inspect for a broken, loose, or corroded wire. Repair the problem wire and retest the circuit.
2. Connect the meter between the red/blue pin at the fuel injector connector and a common engine ground. Ensure the meter
is set to read voltage, auto scale.
3. Turn the ignition key switch to the "ON" position.
NOTE: With the ignition key switch in the "ON" position and the engine off, battery voltage is only available to the red/blue
wire for five seconds when no crankshaft position sensor signal is received by the engine control module.
a. If battery voltage is not present, check to ensure the main power relay is functioning.
b. If battery voltage is not present and the main power relay is functioning properly, check to ensure the 20amp fuse is
not blown.
NOTE: The main power relay must be on for battery voltage to be present at the red/blue wire. If battery voltage is not
present, the main power relay may be defective or the 20amp fuse is blown.
c. If battery voltage is not present with the main power relay functioning properly, and the fuel injector fuse is not blown,
there is an open circuit between the main power relay red/blue wire and the splice in the engine harness connector.
NOTE: The 12 volt power supply for the fuel injectors are spliced together at several different locations in the engine
harness. If the red/blue wire at the fuel supply module fuel pump connector and all of the fuel injector red/blue wires
have no battery voltage, an open circuit at the engine wire harness splice point is the most likely failure.
4. Check for continuity between the red/blue wire on each of the fuel injector engine harness connectors and the red/white
wire at the main power relay. This test includes the fuel injector fuse. Ensure the fuel injector fuse is not blown.

Hydrocarbons HC
Gasoline is a hydrocarbon fuel. The two elements of hydrogen and carbon are burned during combustion in combination with
oxygen. But they are not totally consumed. Some pass through the combustion chamber and exit the exhaust system as
unburned gases known as hydrocarbons.
Carbon Monoxide CO
Carbon is one of the elements that make up the fuel burned in the engine along with oxygen during the combustion process. If
the carbon in the gasoline could combine with enough oxygen (one carbon atom with two oxygen atoms), it would come out of
the engine in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is a harmless gas. But carbon often combines with insufficient oxygen
(one carbon atom with one oxygen atom). This forms carbon monoxide, CO. Carbon monoxide is the product of incomplete
combustion and is a dangerous, potentially lethal gas.
Controlling Emissions
There are two principle methods of reducing emissions from a marine engine. The first method is to control the air/fuel ratio that
goes into the combustion chamber. The second is to control the time when this air/fuel mixture enters the combustion chamber.
Timing is important, to prevent any unburned mixture from escaping out of the exhaust port.
Emissions Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Beginning with 1998 model year engines, manufacturers of all marine propulsion engines must determine the exhaust emission
levels for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). A certification decal/emissions control information label, showing emission levels and engine specifications directly
related to emissions, must be placed on each engine at the time of manufacture.
Dealer Responsibility
When performing service on all 1998 and newer outboards that carry a certification, attention must be given to any adjustments
that are made that affect emission levels.
Adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within
the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their
predetermined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as that for altitude adjustments.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed
certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to
exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Exceptions
Carburetor jets may be changed for high altitude use in accordance with factory recommendations.
Single engine exceptions may be allowed with permission from the EPA for racing and testing.

! WARNING
Trimming the outboard beyond a neutral steering condition may result in a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle and loss
of boat control. Maintain control of the boat if trimming beyond a neutral steering condition.
! WARNING
Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the
operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the
boat in a safe manner.
In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless
steel tilt pin from your dealer and inserting it in whatever adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. The
nonstainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in this application other than on a temporary basis.
2. Trimming out or up can:
Lift the bow higher out of the water.
Generally increase top speed.
Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.
Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal installation height (with the normal righthand rotation propeller.)
In excess, can cause boat porpoising (bouncing) or propeller ventilation.
Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes are above the waterline.
Trailering Boat/Outboard
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position.
21997
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt support lever to maintain proper ground clearance for trailering.
The outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the outboard for trailering.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
Manual Tilting
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can be manually tilted.
NOTE: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up
during reverse operation.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the outboard in either the up or down position with the manual tilt valve open. Damage to the
Orings may occur.
Turn out the manual tilt release valve three turns counterclockwise. This allows manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard
to the desired position and tighten the manual tilt release valve.
22362
NOTE: In cold climates, the manual release valve should be opened for storage to prevent pressure buildup in the cylinder due
to thermal expansion.

In the up mode, as the trim rod extends from the cylinder, the memory piston clears or uncovers the pressure relief passage.
Oil from the up cavity enters this passage and, if required, causes the tilt relief plunger to open the tilt pressure relief valve. This
valve lowers the amount of pressure available to lift the outboard motor. With the engine in forward gear, and at high RPM, the
oil pressure available cannot overcome the force of the propeller thrust, limiting the trim range to below the pressure relief
passage. Up pressure flows into the trim relief passage and returns back into the reservoir. When the engine's RPMs fall, or if
the engine is not in forward gear, oil pressure is available to extend the trim rod up into the tilt range.

With the trim rod fully extended at the maximum tilt position, the pressure inside of the trim cylinder increases to the pressure
setting of the tilt relief valve. Pressure forces the tilt relief plunger to move and unseat the tilt relief valve allowing highpressure
oil to return to the reservoir through passages in the manifold. Oil flow continues until the up button is released.

Oil inside the down cavity is locked in a static position by the closed downcircuit pressureoperated valve, the manual release
valve, and the manifold reverse suction valve. If the outboard strikes an underwater object while in forward gear, the trim rod
tries to rapidly extend from the cylinder, increasing the pressure inside the trim cylinder down cavity and connecting passages.
When the pressure increases to the relief valve setting, the impact relief valves located inside the shock piston open and allow
the fluid to pass through the shock piston. As the fluid passes through the piston, the trim rod extends from the trim cylinder.
The memory piston remains held in position by vacuum created by the oil in the up cavity being locked in a static position.

After the engine clears the underwater object, the weight of the engine increases the oil pressure between the memory piston
and shock piston to the level required to open the shock return valve inside the shock piston. This allows the oil to bleed back
through the shock piston into the down cavity. If required, additional oil enters the down cavity through the manifold
reversesuction valve. This returns the engine back against the memory piston and into the original running position.

To manually tilt the outboard engine, back out the manual release valve 34 turns. With the valve backed out, the internal
passages inside the manifold are connected. These passages connect both the cylinder down and up cavities, along with the
reservoir, allowing the engine to be raised or lowered. Trim rod movement continues until the manual release valve is closed,
locking the fluid inside of the cylinder and manifold. If the outboard motor is to be raised manually, turn the manual release
valve counterclockwise to the full out position. When in the full out position, oil in the trim cylinder can flow freely from the up
side to the down side, or from the down side to the up side. The oil return line into the reservoir is also open, allowing free oil
flow to either side of the tilt cylinder to accommodate the differential oil capacities between the tilt cylinder up side and down
side cavities.

Reverse Operation
To prevent the outboard from coming up or trailing out, when shifted into reverse and/or throttling back rapidly, oil in the trim
system must be locked in a static position. This is accomplished with the up and down pressure operated valves. When the
pump is not operating, the shuttle valve is in a centered position and the pressure operated valves are held closed by the
springs behind the valve poppet. Oil is now locked in both ends of the cylinder preventing the trim rod from moving in or out.

The trim motor relay system, used on permanent magnet trim systems, connects each of the two wires from the trim motor to
either a ground or positive lead to allow the motor to run in both directions.
If the motor will not run in the up direction, it may be either the up relay is not making contact to 12 volts or the down relay is not
making contact to ground. The opposite is true if the system will not run down. When the system is not energized, both relays
should connect the heavy motor leads to ground.
To test which relay is faulty if the trim system does not operate in one direction:
1. Disconnect the heavy gauge pump wires from the trim control relay.
2. Check for continuity between the heavy leads from the trim relays to ground.

Bearings
Upon disassembly of the gear housing, all bearings must be cleaned and inspected. Clean the bearings with solvent and dry
with compressed air. Air should be directed at the bearing so that it passes through the bearing. Do not spin the bearing with
compressed air, as this may cause the bearing to score from lack of lubrication. After cleaning, lubricate the bearings with High
Performance Gear Lubricant. Do not lubricate the tapered bearing cups until after inspection.
Inspect all bearings for roughness, catches, and bearing race side wear. Work the inner bearing race in and out, while holding
the outer race, to check for side wear.
When inspecting the tapered bearings, determine the condition of the rollers and the inner bearing race by inspecting the
bearing cup for pits, scoring, grooves, uneven wear, imbedded particles, and/or discoloration from overheating. Always replace
the tapered bearing and race as a set.
Inspect the gear housing for bearing races that have spun in their respective bores. If the race has spun, the gear housing must
be replaced.
Roller bearing condition is determined by inspecting the bearing surface of the shaft that the roller bearing supports. Check the
shaft surface for pits, scoring, grooves, imbedded particles, uneven wear, and/or discoloration from overheating. The shaft and
bearing must be replaced if the conditions described are found.
Shims
Keep a record of all shim amounts and their location during disassembly to aid in assembly. Be sure to follow the shimming
instructions during assembly, as gears must be installed to the correct depth and have the correct amount of backlash to avoid
noisy operation and premature gear failure.
Seals
As a normal procedure, all Orings and oil seals should be replaced without regard to appearance. To prevent leakage around
oil seals, apply Loctite 271 Threadlocker to the outer diameter of all metal case oil seals. When using Loctite on seals or
threads, the surfaces must be clean and dry. To ease installation, apply 24C with PTFE on all Orings. To prevent wear, apply
24C with PTFE on the l.D. of oil seals.

3. Inspect the gear lubricant for metal particles. Presence of a small amount of fine metal particles resembling powder
indicates normal wear. Presence of larger particles, or a large quantity of fine particles, indicates the gear housing should
be disassembled and inspected.
4. Note the color of the gear lubricant. White or cream color indicates the presence of water in the lubricant. Check the drain
pan for water separation from the lubricant. Presence of water in the gear lubricant indicates the gear housing should be
disassembled and inspected.

Bearings
Upon disassembly of the gear housing, all bearings must be cleaned and inspected. Clean the bearings with solvent and dry
with compressed air. Air should be directed at the bearing so that it passes through the bearing. Do not spin the bearing with
compressed air, as this may cause the bearing to score from lack of lubrication. After cleaning, lubricate the bearings with High
Performance Gear Lubricant. Do not lubricate the tapered bearing cups until after inspection.
Inspect all bearings for roughness, catches, and bearing race side wear. Work the inner bearing race in and out, while holding
the outer race, to check for side wear.
When inspecting the tapered bearings, determine the condition of the rollers and the inner bearing race by inspecting the
bearing cup for pits, scoring, grooves, uneven wear, imbedded particles, and/or discoloration from overheating. Always replace
the tapered bearing and race as a set.
Inspect the gear housing for bearing races that have spun in their respective bores. If the race has spun, the gear housing must
be replaced.
Roller bearing condition is determined by inspecting the bearing surface of the shaft that the roller bearing supports. Check the
shaft surface for pits, scoring, grooves, imbedded particles, uneven wear, and/or discoloration from overheating. The shaft and
bearing must be replaced if the conditions described are found.
Shims
Keep a record of all shim amounts and their location during disassembly to aid in assembly. Be sure to follow the shimming
instructions during assembly, as gears must be installed to the correct depth and have the correct amount of backlash to avoid
noisy operation and premature gear failure.
Seals
As a normal procedure, all Orings and oil seals should be replaced without regard to appearance. To prevent leakage around
oil seals, apply Loctite 271 Threadlocker to the outer diameter of all metal case oil seals. When using Loctite on seals or
threads, the surfaces must be clean and dry. To ease installation, apply 24C with PTFE on all Orings. To prevent wear, apply
24C with PTFE on the l.D. of oil seals.

3. Inspect the gear lubricant for metal particles. Presence of a small amount of fine metal particles resembling powder
indicates normal wear. Presence of larger particles, or a large quantity of fine particles, indicates the gear housing should
be disassembled and inspected.
4. Note the color of the gear lubricant. White or cream color indicates the presence of water in the lubricant. Check the drain
pan for water separation from the lubricant. Presence of water in the gear lubricant indicates the gear housing should be
disassembled and inspected.

Bearings
Upon disassembly of the gear housing, all bearings must be cleaned and inspected. Clean the bearings with solvent and dry
with compressed air. Air should be directed at the bearing so that it passes through the bearing. Do not spin the bearing with
compressed air, as this may cause the bearing to score from lack of lubrication. After cleaning, lubricate the bearings with High
Performance Gear Lubricant. Do not lubricate the tapered bearing cups until after inspection.
Inspect all bearings for roughness, catches, and bearing race side wear. Work the inner bearing race in and out, while holding
the outer race, to check for side wear.
When inspecting the tapered bearings, determine the condition of the rollers and the inner bearing race by inspecting the
bearing cup for pits, scoring, grooves, uneven wear, imbedded particles, and/or discoloration from overheating. Always replace
the tapered bearing and race as a set.
Inspect the gear housing for bearing races that have spun in their respective bores. If the race has spun, the gear housing must
be replaced.
Roller bearing condition is determined by inspecting the bearing surface of the shaft that the roller bearing supports. Check the
shaft surface for pits, scoring, grooves, imbedded particles, uneven wear, and/or discoloration from overheating. The shaft and
bearing must be replaced if the conditions described are found.
Shims
Keep a record of all shim amounts and their location during disassembly to aid in reassembly. Be sure to follow the shimming
instructions during reassembly, as gears must be installed to the correct depth and have the correct amount of backlash to
avoid noisy operation and premature gear failure.
Seals
As a normal procedure, all Orings and oil seals should be replaced without regard to appearance. To prevent leakage around
oil seals, apply Loctite 271 Threadlocker to the outer diameter of all metal case oil seals. When using Loctite on seals or
threads, the surfaces must be clean and dry. To ease installation, apply 24C with PTFE on all Orings. To prevent wear, apply
24C with PTFE on the l.D. of oil seals.

3. Inspect the gear lubricant for metal particles. Presence of a small amount of fine metal particles resembling powder
indicates normal wear. Presence of larger particles, or a large quantity of fine particles, indicates the gear housing should
be disassembled and inspected.
4. Note the color of the gear lubricant. White or cream color indicates the presence of water in the lubricant. Check the drain
pan for water separation from the lubricant. Presence of water in the gear lubricant indicates the gear housing should be
disassembled and inspected.
