All Mercury MerCruiser engines are left hand (LH) rotation. Propeller rotation is not necessarily the same as engine rotation; See Section 2 —Transmission and Drive Line. 12710 Page 3A-2 90-863758070 APRIL 2008 Engine Engine Lifting Provisions Engines are equipped with a lifting eye at the front and the rear. Use a suitable sling with the proper weight rating when lifting the engine. b b a 33415 Typical engine a - Center lifting eye (engine alignment only) b - Lifting eye NOTE: 8.1 H.O. and Horizon 8.1 engines require alignment hook (91‑863375‑1). Alignment hook 91‑863375A 1 Engine Oil Dipstick Relocation Some models are equipped with an oil dipstick in the port and starboard dipstick tubes. If only one dipstick is present and the engine is equipped with two dipstick tubes, you may relocate the oil dipstick. a b 9366 Model shown is equipped with two oil dipsticks a - Dipstick option 1 b - Dipstick option 2 1. To relocate the oil dipstick: a. Remove the rubber cap from the dipstick tube. b. Remove the oil dipstick and insert it into the opposite dipstick tube. c. Place the rubber cap over the dipstick tube that is not being used. 90-863758070 APRIL 2008 Page 3A-3 Engine Engine Compartment Construction ! WARNING Improper boat design and construction may result in serious injury or death. Adhere to all applicable marine regulations (United States Coast Guard [USCG], European Union– Recreational Craft Directive [EU‑RCD], etc.) and the standards they reference (American Boat and Yacht Council [ABYC], Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE], International Standards Organization [ISO], etc.) when designing and constructing the boat and other components, such as the engine compartment, fuel delivery system, or exhaust system. Engine Compartment Ventilation See Section 4—Air Intake System. Engine Compartment Seams NOTICE Water that runs onto the air intake may enter the engine and cause serious internal engine damage. Design engine compartments so water cannot run onto the air intake or flame arrestor. Exercise care in the design and construction of the engine compartment. Seams must be located so that rain water is directed away from the air intake system and electrical system. Clearance IMPORTANT: The engine compartment must provide a minimum of 13 mm (½ in.) clearance between the boat and any component on the engine (i.e. exhaust manifold, elbow, oil pan, transmission case, etc.). This allows for engine mount deflection during operation. Engine Bed Requirements The engine bed (i.e. stringers) must be designed to support the G‑forces imposed by the engine during the most severe duty. The bed must also handle the torque produced by the engine and the thrust generated by the propeller. Deflection of the engine bed could stress the engine components, causing possible engine misalignment and transmission failure. The proper design of the engine bed varies considerably from one boat design to the next. Therefore, Mercury MerCruiser makes no attempt to provide detailed engine bed design requirements to cover all possible applications. The proper design of the engine bed is left to the boat manufacturer. The following general guidelines are provided: • The engine bed must be firmly affixed to the boat and should be made as large as possible to distribute the load evenly. Reinforcements should be used where necessary. Mount pad locations should be as large as possible. • The engine mounts are designed for the industry standard 572 mm (22½ in.) stringer widths (center to center), but can accommodate widths up to 610 mm (24 in.). • The engine bed must position the engine so that a minimum 6 mm (¼ in.) of up and down adjustment exists on all four mounts after performing the final engine alignment. This is necessary to allow for realignment in the future. Engine mount isolators will compress slightly over time. • The front and rear mount locations on the engine bed should be in parallel planes. This can be checked by tying a string from the left front mount location to the right rear mount location and another string from the right front to the left rear. The strings should just touch were they cross. Page 3A-4 90-863758070 APRIL 2008 Engine • The engine mounts must rest squarely on the engine bed so that the rubber isolator is not preloaded in one direction or the other. Preloading the engine mount will cause increased vibration. 14921 14922 Typical front mount Typical rear mount • The metal ring must not contact the mount base on the front mount. a b 15889 Typical front mount a - Metal ring • b - Mount base Engine mounts have provisions for 10 mm (3/8 in.) fasteners for securing mounts to the engine bed. Fasteners should be selected as appropriate for the type of engine bed material being used. The slot in front engine mounts should face forward. Do not install fasteners at an angle. Serviceability All engines require maintenance, and some require service repair within the life of the product. Consider serviceability when designing the engine compartment. In addition to customer and dealer satisfaction, consider the implications of serviceability with respect to our warranty policy. The Mercury MerCruiser warranty policy states, in part, that reasonable access must be provided to the product for warranty service. Refer to the warranty policy in the appropriate Operation, Maintenance, and Warranty Manuals. It states that removal or replacement of the boat partitions or material because of boat design for necessary access to the product is not covered. Consider serviceability when designing the boat and engine compartment to avoid these types of issues. Consider all engines options used in a boat when designing the engine compartment. The engine size differences between some of the models as well as differences in service point locations may have a major effect on serviceability. 90-863758070 APRIL 2008 Page 3A-5 Engine The following is a list of the major service points to consider when designing the engine compartment. Typical illustrations are shown to assist you in identifying these locations. These are typical views and may not accurately represent the model that you are working with. The specific engines, along with their installation drawings and the appropriate Operation, Maintenance, and Warranty Manual, should be used when doing the actual design work.

Perform a preliminary alignment at engine installation. The final alignment must be done after the boat is in the water to compensate for any deflection in the hull. On applications with a rigid propeller shaft coupler, dsconnect the coupler from the transmission for shipment. Check the alignment with the boat in the water. The requirement for checking the alignment should be clearly communicated to your dealers, along with an understanding as to who is financially responsible. 90-863758070 APRIL 2008 Page 3A-19 Engine The complete alignment procedure is outlined in the installation manuals. Important elements of this process include: • Align the engine to position the pilot on the propeller shaft coupler into the recess in the transmission output flange so that the mating surfaces of the flange and the coupler are parallel within 0.07 mm (0.003 in.). 7534 • Check alignment by holding the flange and the coupler together and checking at 90° intervals with a feeler gauge. The coupler should be rotated 180° and alignment rechecked to ensure that the coupler and flange are in alignment. a b c 7535 a - Propeller shaft coupler b - Feeler gauge c - Transmission output flange Specification Transmission output flange to propeller shaft coupler alignment tolerance • • Page 3A-20 mm in. 0.0–0.07 0.0–0.003 The slot on the front mounts should face forward.
