Mountlng

To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the
water resislance (drag) 01 the boat and out-
board motor must be made
às little as
poss卜

e.
The mounting height

the outboa

eatly affects the water resistance. If
the mounting height is too high
, cavitalion

and if the propeller lips cut Ihe air
, the engine
speed will rise abnormally and cause the en-
gine to overhea
