Do-It-Yourself Maintenance Suggestions

Present-day marine equipment, such as your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel power package,

are highly technical pieces of machinery. Electronic ignition and special fuel delivery

systems provide greater fuel economies, but also are more complex for the untrained

mechanic.

If you are one of those persons who likes to do-it-yourself, here are some suggestions for

you.

• Do not attempt any repairs unless you are aware of the Cautions, Warnings and

procedures required. Your safety is our concern.

• If you attempt to service the product yourself, we suggest you order the service manual

for that model. The service manual outlines the correct procedures to follow. It is written

for the trained mechanic, so there may be procedures you don’t understand. Do not

attempt repairs if you do not understand the procedures.

• There are special tools and equipment that are required to perform some repairs. Do not

attempt these repairs unless you have these special tools and/or equipment. You can

cause damage to the product in excess of the cost a dealer would charge you.

• Also, if you partially disassemble an engine or drive assembly and are unable to repair it,

the dealer’s mechanic must reassemble the components and test to determine the

problem. This will cost you more than taking it to the dealer immediately upon having a

problem. It may be a very simple adjustment to correct the problem.

• Do not telephone the dealer, service office or the factory to attempt for them to diagnose

a problem or to request the repair procedure. It is difficult for them to diagnose a problem

over the telephone.

Your local dealer / distributor of Cummins MerCruiser Diesel products is there to service

your power package. They have qualified factory-trained mechanics.

It is recommended you have the dealer do periodic maintenance checks on your power

package. Have them winterize it in the fall and service it before the boating season. This will

reduce the possibility of any problems occurring during your boating season when you want

trouble-free boating pleasure.
