We have not undertaken any such wise evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool which is not recommended by the manufacturer, first must completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the product’s safety will be endangered by the service procedure selected.

90-12934--2 1097 iv Replacement Parts ! WARNING Electrical system components on gasoline engines and MerCruiser Stern Drives are designed and manufactured to comply with U.S. Coast Guard Rules and Regulations to minimize risks of fire or explosion. Use of replacement electrical system components, which do not comply to these rules and regulations, could result in a fire or explosion hazard and should be avoided. When servicing electrical systems, it is extremely important that all components are properly installed and tightened. If not, any electrical component opening would permit sparks to ignite fuel vapors from fuel system leaks, if they exist or develop. ! WARNING Electrical system components on diesel engines are not external ignition protected. DO NOT STORE OR UTILIZE GASOLINE ON BOATS EQUIPPED WITH THESE ENGINES, UNLESS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO EXCLUDE GASOLINE VAPORS FROM ENGINE COMPART- MENT (ref: 33 CFR). Failure to comply could result in fire, explosion and/or severe personal injury.
