MAXIMUM OUTBOARD MOUNTING HEIGHT
The mounting height of the outboard must not exceed 63.5 cm (25 in.) for L models, 76.2 cm (30 in.) for
XL models and 88.9 cm (35 in.) for XXL models. Mounting the outboard higher may cause damage to
the gearcase components.
Maximum Static Waterline
The static waterline, with boat at rest, must be below the "MAX STATIC WATERLINE" mark on the idle
relief grommet (located at the rear of the outboard) when the outboard is fully tilted in/down. If waterline
is above "MAX STATIC WATERLINE" mark, adjust boat load forward or increase (raise) outboard
mounting height to correctly place mark above waterline.

Propeller Selection
For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a propeller that allows the
engine to operate in the upper half of the recommended full throttle RPM range with the boat normally
loaded (refer to General Information - Specifications). This RPM range allows for better acceleration
while maintaining maximum boat speed.
