instability. Never install an outboard motor
that exceeds the maximum boat horse-
power rating capacity. If a boat does not
have the capacity plate, ask to the boat

Proper mount of outboard motor will obtain
better engine performance, product reliability,
fuel economy, customer satisfaction, etc.
This chapter describes the brief summary of

For the first requirement, make sure the out-
board motor has clearance for full movement,
from port to starboard, as well as during tilt
operation.
For the motor dimensions, see the later pages.
