CHECKING FOR CAVITATION
The initial outboard height setting should be close to the
optimum setting for the outboard. However, because of the hull
design of some boats, obstructions, or imperfections in the hull
ahead of the water intake, adjustments may be required to
prevent cavitation at running speeds.
When operating the boat, the outboard driveshaft housing should
be vertical, or tilted toward the boat, when planing to provide a
scooping angle on the water intake. Tilting the outboard out
beyond a vertical position reduces the scoop angle and can
cause impeller slippage and cavitation.
IMPORTANT: If the angle of the boat transom does not allow
the driveshaft housing to be positioned vertical, a wedge kit
should be installed behind the transom brackets to increase the
tilt‑in angle.
NOTE: Slight cavitation in sharp turns and rough water is
acceptable, but excessive cavitation is harmful to the outboard
and should be avoided.
