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. For
