INSTALLATION
The water level must be at least 4 in
(100 mm) above the antiventilation
plate, otherwise the water pump may
not receive sufficient cooling water,
and the engine will overheat.
(Types with clamp screws)
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boat will squat and be hard to
plane, and the outboard motor will
spray water that may enter the boat. It
will tend to porpoise, and high-speed
stability will be reduced.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause propeller
ventilation.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat type and bottom shape.
Contact the boat manufacturer for any
special recommendations that are
unique to a specific model of boat.
If the transom needs to be modified to
accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.
ATTACHMENT
(tiller handle type)
Attach the stern bracket to the boat
transom by tightening the clamp
screws. Push the carrying handle into
the storage position. (tiller handle
type)
Attach a rope from the boat to the
hole in the stern bracket. This will
help to prevent accidental loss of the
outboard motor.
