4. INSTALLATION
Installation
It is your responsibility to choose a
boat suitable for the motor.
DO NOT OVERPOWER THE BOAT
Do not install an outboard motor that
exceeds the recommended maximum
horsepower for the boat. Refer to the
boat certification plate for the maxi-
mum recommended horsepower for the
boat. For most boat applications, the
motor should have a horsepower which
provides 80% of the maximum recom-
mended horsepower for the boat. If the
certification plate information is not
available, contact the boat dealer.
The BF25A/30A must be installed on
transoms which have the following
minimum or maximum thickness.
STERN CENTER LINE

Installation height
For proper propeller depth and engine
cooling, the boat and outboard motor
transom height must match.
Three outboard motor transom heights
are available. Match your boats tran-
som height to the outboard motor
transom height shown below.

O-2 inches below the bottom of the boat.
With the boat in the water, loaded and
motor off, the anticavitation plate should
be about 4 inches below the surface of
the water.

without suficient cooling water will
damage the water pump and overheat
