ENGINE SELECTION AND SETTINGS 

 
3. ENGINE INSTALLATION 

 

 

 

Install the engine along the boat centreline, in the centre of the reinforcement board (4). 

 

Hand  tighten  the  attaching  press  screws  (1)  and  then  retighten  after  15  minutes  of  sailing 
during the first installation. 

 

 For all bolting down of engines, refer to your nearest dealer. 

 

Stow the engine with a length of safety line (2) to bridge (3) and to press screws (1). 

 

All  engines  over  4  HP  are  provided  with  a  circuit-breaker  (5),  which  is  an  essential  safety 
feature: always attach it (refer to the "Recommended operating procedure" chapter). 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING 

 
 

 ENGINES MORE POWERFUL THAN 25 HP MUST BE BOLTED DOWN.  

 FROM 25 HP UPWARDS, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A REMOTE CONTROL. 

 

 

 

WARNING 

 

  FOR  ENGINES  NOT  BOLTED  DOWN:  PERIODICALLY  CHECK  THE  TIGHTENING 

OF THE PRESS SCREWS. 

 FOR REMOTE CONTROLS: REGULARLY CHECK THEIR PROPER OPERATION. 

 

NOTE: 

THE  ENGINE  IS  BOLTED  TO  THE  TRANSOM  AFTER  ADJUSTING  ITS  POSITION. 
THIS  OPERATION  MUST  BE  CARRIED  OUT  BY  YOUR  ZODIAC  MILPRO 
DISTRIBUTOR. 

 
4. SETTINGS

 

 

The  engine  requires  two  position  adjustments  in  height  and  angle  relative  to  the  aft  transom  which 
have a direct and significant effect on the boat's behaviour. 
Once  properly  set  in  height,  the  engine  will  no  longer  require  any  further  adjustment  in  this  direction. 
However,  to  optimize  performance  and  ensure  the  boat's  proper  manoeuvrability,  you  may  need  to 
change the engine's tilt angle depending on sailing conditions (adjustment bar or electric trim). 
 
 

4.1. Engine height 

 
The engine is directly mounted on the aft transom. The size may 
vary by a few centimeters for a given shaft type depending on the 
engine make. 
An adjusting shim generally needs to be added to position the 
engine properly: 

 

Engine set too high = the engine races (ventilation) 
Engine set too low = swamping (choppy ride)
