to your engine. Check with your engine manufacturer
to get their recommendation.
Do not attempt to control adjustments unless you are
very familiar with their function, operation and adjust-
ment. Failure to properly adjust the system compo-
nents can adversely affect your boat's performance and
safety. Misadjustment can also cause severe control,
engine or lower unit damage.
Please return all warranty cards for boat, engine and
other related items. This will assist you in the event
you have a warranty problem.
Engine Cooling System
Most outboard engines are cooled by water taken in
through ports in the lower part of the drive section.
Make sure these ports are free of debris or other items
that might cause the flow to be restricted. Maintain a
routine vigilance to see that the visual inspection
streams have a steady flow of water. If they do not,
shut down the engine to see if they are clogged or if
there is a more serious problem. Be especially watch-
ful if you have gone through an area of vegetation or
shallow water as the intake ports can become clogged
with weeds, dirt, or other debris.
Do not run your outboard without water coming into
the lower unit. The water pump impeller can be dam-
aged in only seconds of this type of operation.
Propellers
A turning propeller moves the boat through the water,
forward or backward. They should have always been
clean and free from nicks or dings, which can adverse-
ly affect performance. Your dealer can assist you in the
proper selection of a propeller for your boat. This
selection is based on the horsepower of the engine and
its relationship to the size and weight of the boat.
Propeller sizes are determined by two numbers, which
appear on different propellers at various locations.
They are listed in sequence, for example 13x17. The
first number is the diameter of the propeller and the
second is the pitch. Pitch is the theoretical distance the
propeller moves through the water with each complete
revolution. The larger the number, the greater the theo-
retical movement. It also follows that the larger the
number the greater horsepower is required to turn it.
With a load that is "normal" or usual for your boating
activities, the engine should be able to reach its maxi-
mum operating RPM range at wide open throttle
(WOT). With a light load on smooth water, the engine
should reach it's manufacturer's rated maximum oper-
ating RPM at wide open throttle (WOT) and maximum
trim. If it doesn't, you may have a propeller, which has
too much pitch. If it goes beyond the maximum rec-
ommended RPM range, you may have too little pitch.
Neither condition is good for the engine. You will get
shorter engine life and poorer performance than your
boat and motor were designed to provide.
If your boat came from the factory with a propeller
selected by Corsair, it should already be optimized for
the performance of your boat. Before changing the
pitch or diameter of your propeller, always check with
your dealer to determine how the changes will affect
your boat and engine performance.
Trimming
Tilt/Trim Control Switches
1.The standard trim control switch is located on the
control lever handle.
2.The switch controls the "trim" of your boat under
various conditions, loads, and uses. Proper trim
is very important in boating. Trim refers to the
angle of the lower unit in relation to the bottom
of the boat.
3.In the case of low or heavy bow attitude, the
lower unit is normally trimmed too far under or
forward. Trim the unit out or up to correct this
situation.
