Outboard motor mounting.
A good position of the motor on the transom is very important to
have an appropriate trim angle and therefore to obtain a good
performance from your boat
To have the optimum mounting height of the outboard motor, you must
mount it so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat
and a level of 2 cm below it and it is parallel to it.
If the mounting-height is too high, cavitation tends to occur and
consequently there will be a falling-off in the performance and
a probable overheating of the motor.
If the mounting-height is too low, the water-resistance will
increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency.
Picture No. 37
The motor must be vertical to the water surface and the bracket
mounted on a flat even surface and should be fully supported
by the top edge of the transom.
If the bracket is not fully supported or, if the transom height is
too low, a hard wood block should be securely fitted between
the bracket and the transom.
