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.
2.1.1 Mounting height
The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting
height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too
low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor
so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it.
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the
optimum mounting height. For further information, consult your “PARSUN” dealer or boat
manufacturer.
