In this video we walk through the full process of starting a small outboard.
Motor: 6HP Mercury 4 Stroke
Boat: 1984 12′ Crawdad Flat Bottom
Boating can be dangerous
Always wear your lifejacket
Never let go of the tiller when in motion
Never start your motor when in forward or reverse
Never operate while standing up
Look for hazards before starting
Don’t start if you smell gas or see gas dripping from motor
Know your water, know your boats limitations
Many many more safety items to know. READ YOUR MANUAL and take a boating safety course
