Impact with Underwater Hazards

Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a boat in shallow water areas, or in areas where
you suspect underwater obstacles may exist which could be struck by the outboard or the boat bottom. The
most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a floating or underwater
object is to control the boat speed. Under these conditions, boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing
speed of 24 to 40 km/h (15 to 25 MPH).
Striking a floating or underwater object could result in an infinite number of situations. Some of these
situations could result in the following:
• Part of the outboard or the entire outboard could break loose and fly into the boat.
• The boat could move suddenly in a new direction. Such a sharp change in direction can cause
occupants to be thrown out of their seats or out of the boat.
• A rapid reduction in speed. This will cause occupants to be thrown forward, or even out of the boat.
• Impact damage to the outboard and/or boat.
Keep in mind, the most important thing you can do to help reduce injury or impact damage during an impact is
control the boat speed. Boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing speed when driving in waters known
to have underwater obstacles.
After striking a submerged object, stop the engine as soon as possible and inspect it for any broken or loose
parts. If damage is present or suspected, the outboard should be taken to an authorized dealer for a thorough
inspection and necessary repair.
The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures, transom fractures, or water leaks.
Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to other parts of the outboard, or could affect
control of the boat. If continued running is necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.
Operating a boat or engine with impact damage can result in product damage, serious injury, or death. If
the vessel experiences any form of impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair
the vessel or power package.

Emisiones de escape

ATENCIÓN A LA POSIBILIDAD DE ENVENENAMIENTO POR MONÓXIDO DE
CARBONO
El monóxido de carbono (CO) es un gas letal que se halla presente en las emanaciones del escape de todos
los motores de combustión interna, entre ellos los que impulsan embarcaciones, y en los generadores que
accionan accesorios de las embarcaciones. Aunque el CO es inodoro, incoloro e insípido, si se percibe el
olor o el sabor del escape del motor, se está inhalando CO.
Los primeros síntomas del envenenamiento por monóxido de carbono, similares a los del mareo y la
intoxicación, comprenden dolor de cabeza, vahídos, somnolencia y náuseas.
