CLEANING GAUGES

Clean gauge by washing with fresh water to remove
sand and salt deposits. Wipe off with a soft cloth
moistened with water. The gauge may be scored or
damaged if wiped with abrasive material (sand, sa-
line or detergent compounds, etc.) or washed with
solvents such as trichloroethylene, turpentine, etc.

The starter motor on a Mercury engine with part number 30 may not engage after being stored for about 2 years due to several possible reasons:

1. Weak or dead battery – The battery may have lost charge or degraded during storage.
2. Loose or corroded battery connections – Corrosion or loose terminals can prevent proper current flow.
3. Blown fuse – A blown 20 Amp fuse in the starting circuit can stop the motor from engaging.
4. Ignition key switch failure – The switch may not be functioning properly.
5. Outboard not in neutral – The motor must be in neutral to start.
6. Wiring issues – Loose, corroded, or damaged wiring can interrupt the circuit.
7. Starter motor or solenoid failure – Internal failure from corrosion or wear can prevent engagement.

These issues are common after long-term storage without proper maintenance.
