HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS FOR OUTBOARD ENGINES
ENGLISH
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Minimum transom requirements
The following picture shows the minimum splash well dimensions. These dimensions must be respected in
order to prevent the cylinder from being damaged when the outboard engine is completely tilted upwards. The
picture shows also the minimum transom dimensions, needed for the installation and the correct operation of
the engine steering cylinder.
WARNING
ENGINE JACK PLATE APPLICATION TO THE TRANSOM.
A jack plate installation will change all the application clearances. A new clearance check must be completed with
the tilting of the engine in conjunction with the vertical movement of the jack plate in all the possible positions.
If the steering cylinder comes into contact with the splash well, transom and/or jack plate, stop the installation
immediately! Use the jack plate manufacturer's instructions to limit the upper or lower direction in which the
interference occurs. If this is not possible please contact specialized staff.
NOTICE
In case of configurations with three or four engines it is necessary to check the dimensions of the transom and
the relative cockpit before starting the installation phase.
