1. Center line (keel line)
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the
static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power head,
when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.
WARNING
：
Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more
horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a
capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions. Your dealer or
other person experienced in proper rigging should mount the motor. If you are mounting the
motor yourself, you should be trained by an experienced person.
The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting depends
in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
