OVERVIEW
MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD
The outboard should be mounted in such a way
that the boat is well balanced. Otherwise it could
be difficult to steer. Mount the outboard on the
centerline (keel line) of the boat.
Mounting height
The mounting height of the outboard affects
its efficiency and reliability. A mounting that
is too high might lead to propeller ventilation,
which will reduce propulsion due to excessive
propeller slip. There is also a risk of overheating
the outboard due to the water intakes of the
cooling system may not get enough water
supply.
If the outboard mounting is too low, the water
resistance will increase and thereby reduce the
efficiency and performance of the outboard. In
general, the outboard should be mounted so
that the anti-cavitation plate is in alignment with
the bottom of the boat.
The optimum mounting height is determined
by the boat/outboard combination in addition
to the required use. Test runs at different
heights can be of assistance when choosing
the optimum mounting height. For further
information, please contact the manufacturer.
!
CAUTION
Check the carrying capacity of the boat, at
rest and with maximum load, during water
testing.
Check that the static water level on the
outboard rig is low enough to prevent water
from entering the powerhead when water
rising due to waves when the outboard is not
running.
Incorrect engine height can create air born
water spray while the boat is cruising. If the
outboard is operated continuously in the
presence of airborne water spray, enough
water could enter the engine throught the
intake opening on the cowling to cause
severe engine damage. Eliminate the cause
of airborne water spray.
