14. MOTOR TYPE, INSTALLATION AND OPERATING
The maximum and recommended powers are listed in the table of technical specifications.
For smaller outboards use the tiller control. For 25HP and up we strongly suggest to use the
steering console with remote system.
NEVER USE MOTOR WITH POWER HIGHER THAN
INDICATED, AND MOTOR WEIGHT HEAVIER THAN
INDICATED ON THE MANUFACTURER'S ID PLATE. IT
COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, AND YOU
WOULD BE BREAKING THE LAW
13.1. MOTOR SHAFT LENGTH
The motor shaft length must be same as required for your boat (see boat
specifications). Using motors with other shaft length may cause the boat damage and
will void warranty.
13.2. PROPELLER
To choose the optimal propeller your boat and its motor must be tested at sea. A lower pitch
is better for the boat either heavily loaded or used tor water skiing. A higher pitch will
increase the speed potential, when loaded light.
13.3. MOTOR INSTALLATION
Install the motor along the centerline of the boat in the middle on the mounting plate (1).
Fully tighten the clamps (2) and tighten them again after 15 minutes of running. Secure the
motor to the transom with safety cable. All motors are equipped with a security stop switch
lanyard (3). Always use it!
THE BOLTING OF THE MOTOR TO THE TRANSOM IS
SUGGESTED FROM 10HP AND HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED FROM 25 HP AND ABOVE
