3. Transom height: Clearance between the anti‑ventilation
plate of the motor and the bottom of the boat must be
10–30 mm (0.4–1.2 in.). If the height difference exceeds
30 mm (1.2 in.), engine power performance is likely to be
reduced as a result of increased water resistance to the
gearcase assembly.

4. After positioning the transom brackets, attach with clamp
screws. Drill two holes in the boat transom, matching the holes
in the transom bracket. Secure the engine with the supplied
bolts, washers, and nuts.
TRANSOM MATCHING
Ensure the anti‑ventilation plate of the outboard is below the water
surface when running at wide‑open throttle. In case the above
condition cannot be met due to the bottom shape of your boat,
please consult the dealer.
IMPORTANT: Overheating may occur if the anti‑ventilation plate
is at a level higher than the bottom of the boat, as a result of a lack
of cooling water.
If the height difference exceeds 30 mm (1.2 in.), engine power
performance is likely to be reduced as a result of increased water
resistance to the gercase assembly.
