NOTE: Most boats are rated and certified in terms of their
maximum horse power limit, and this is shown on the boatt's
certification plate. Do not equip your boat with an outboard that
exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your dealer. Do not operate
the engine until it has been securely mounted on the boat in
accordance withthe instructions below.
1. Position the outboard motor at the center of the stern.
2. Position the outboard engines about 580 mm (23 in.) apart.
3. Clearance between anti‑ventilation plate of the motor and
bottom of the boat must be 30 to 50 mm (1.2 to 2 in.). If the
height difference exceeds 30 to 50 m (1.2 to 2 in.) engine
power performance is likely to be reduced as a result of
increased water resistance to the gearcase assembly.
NOTE: Select an outboard motor that allows the clearance shown
below.
