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. 31.
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

Fix the engine in the correct position locking the
clamp screws.
