Checking the battery
1. Check the capacity, electrolyte level, and
specified gravity of the battery.
2. Check that the red and black battery cables
are securely connected.
Checking the outboard motor mount-
ing position
1. Check that the anti-cavitation plate is
aligned with the bottom of the boat. If the
mounting height is too high, cavitation will
occur and propulsion will be reduced.
Also, the engine speed will increase abnor-
mally and cause the engine to overheat. If
the mounting height is too low, water resis-
tance will increase and reduce engine effi-
ciency.

NOTE:
The optimum mounting height is affected by
the combination of the boat and the outboard
motor. To determine the optimum mounting
height, test run the outboard motor at different
heights.
2. Check that the clamp brackets are secured
with the mounting bolts.

Predelivery checks
To make the delivery process smooth and effi-
cient, the predelivery checks should be com-
pleted as explained below.
Checking the fuel system
1. Check that the fuel hoses are securely con-
nected and that the fuel tank is full with fuel.
