It is important to note, during any maintenance procedure replacement fasteners must have
the same measurements and strength as those removed. Numbers on the heads of the met-
ric 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. Mis-
matched 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 when-
ever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should be taken to
select a replacement that matches the original.

Engine Mechanical Components
Many of the engine mechanical components are designed for marine applications. Unlike
automotive engines, marine engines are subjected to extended periods of heavy load
and wide-open-throttle operation and, therefore, require heavy-duty components. Special
marine engine parts have design and manufacturing specifications which are required to
provide long life and dependable performance. Marine engine parts also must be able to
resist the corrosive action of salt or brackish water that will rust or corrode standard automo-
tive parts within a short period of time.
Failure to use recommended Quicksilver service replacement parts can result in poor en-
gine performance and/or durability, rapid corrosion of parts subjected to salt water and
possibly complete failure of the engine.
Use of parts other than recommended service replacement parts, will void the warranty on
those parts which are damaged as a result of the use of other than recommended replace-
ment parts.
Replacement Parts
WARNING
Electrical, ignition and fuel system components on MerCruiser Engines and 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, ignition or fuel 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 the electrical, ignition and fuel systems, it is extremely important
that all components are properly installed and tightened. If not, any electrical or ig-
nition component opening would permit sparks to ignite fuel vapors from fuel sys-
tem leaks, if they existed.
