Boat Speed (MPH) – Maximum Speed Anticipated
IMPORTANT: Add 5 in. (12.7cm) to Mounting
Height for “XL” Models.
a - This solid line is recommended to determine the outboard
mounting height dimension. Use transom mounting bolt
holes that will position outboard nearest to the
recommended height. After engine break-in (if necessary),
raise or lower outboard one position at a time to attain best
performance. See “Important” immediately following.
IMPORTANT: Increasing the height of outboard generally
will provide the following: 1) Less steering torque, 2) more
top speed, 3) greater boat stability, but, 4) will cause more
prop “break loose” which may be particularly noticeable
when planing off or with load.
b - These broken lines represent the extremes of known
successful outboard mounting height dimensions.
c - This line may be preferred to determine outboard mounting
height dimension, if maximum speed is the only objective.
d - This line may be preferred to determine outboard mounting
height dimension for dual outboard installation.
e - Outboard mounting height (height of outboard transom
bracket from bottom of boat transom). For heights over 22 in.
(560mm), a propeller, that is specifically designed for
surfacing operation, such as the “Chopper” series, usually is
preferred.
