TRANSOM HEIGHT . .
The proper transom (verttcal) height tor the Standard Length Model
ts
14-1/2
to lS-1/2" The proper transom (vertical) hetght
for
the
L~ng
Shaft
~ode!
is
19-
1/2 to 20-1/2". If the transom is too high. the propeller wtll operate

turbulent
water with lowered effictency. Overheatmg may result.
If
the transom
ts
too
low,

NOTE:
We
recommend usmg an accessory transom plate to
protect
your
boat
and help prevent loss of motor
See
your
Dealer.
PROPELLER SELECTION
Your motor is equtpped with a propeller that will perform satisfactorily under
average condttions. However, since some boats have a varying speed potential, it may
be
necessary to install a propeller having
an
increased
or
decreased blade pitch to
achieve maxtmum performance.
When
operating your motor
at
full throttle under normal load
conditions
the engine
RPM
is
the controlling factor 10 determining the correct propeller blade pitch for your
rig.
To
obtam peak performance. the engme
RPM
under these operating conditions
should
be
tn
the upper half of the FULL SPEED
RPM
OPERATING RANGE. (See
SPECIFICATIONS.) If
the engine
RPM
is
on
the low side
of
the recommended range,
install a propeller of reduced pitch and the engine
RPM
will increase.
If
the engine
RPM
ts
above recommended
RPM,
install a propeller
of
an
increased pitch to reduce
engine
RPM.
See
your DEALER.
It
1s
suggested that a tachometer
be
uttlized to accurately check engine
RPM
.
See
your DEALER.
He
will
be
pleased to assist you
in
obtaining maxtmum performance
from your boat and motor.
