OUTBOARD INSTALLATION/ATTACHMENTS - 7A-190-817643R1 DECEMBER 1996
Installing Outboard Motor
on Transom
Determining Recommended
Outboard Mounting Height
It is recommended for best-all-around boating perform-
ance, the outboard should be mounted with the anti-venti-
lation plate parallel to and at the same level as the boat bot-
tom.
On boats with a 20 in. (508mm) transom height, this will re-
quire that the outboard be mounted approximately 1 in.
(25.4mm) high on the transom as the outboard has a 21 in.
(533mm) shaft length.

If, with the outboard mounted so that the anti-ventilation
plate is level with the bottom of the boat, excessive propel-
ler slippage/cavitation is experienced, it is recommended
that the outboard be lowered one position on the transom
to increase propeller “BITE” at a slight loss at top end
speed and increase spray.
NOTE: Raising or lowering the outboard by one mounting
hole will change outboard height by approximately 3/4 in.
(19mm).
