The information presented in this sec-
tion is intended as reference only. It is
not possible to provide complete
instructions for every possible
boat/motor combination. Proper
mounting depends in part on experi-
ence and the specific boat/motor com-
bination.

Your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper rigging should mount
the motor. If you are mounting the
motor yourself, you should be trained
by an experienced person.
Mount the outboard motor on the center
line (keel line) of the boat, and ensure that
the boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise,
the boat will be hard to steer. For boats
without a keel or which are asymmetrical,
consult your dealer.

Overpowering a boat may 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 manufac-
turer.
