Page 1D-2 90-826883R2 JUNE 1998
WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1.
cause loss of boat control 2. place too much weight at the transom altering the
designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3. cause the boat to break apart
particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious
injury, death, or boat damage.

tested for your outboard.

IMPORTANT: Steering cable must be correct length. Sharp bends on too-short of
a cable result in “kinks;” too-long of a cable require unnecessary bends and/or
loops. Both conditions place extra stress on the cable.
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to determine correct length of steering cable.
