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.
0～ 25mm
(0-1in)
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 dealer or boat manufacturer.
