FASTENING SECURITY LINE
5
The primary purpose for installing a security line is to prevent loss of the
outboard if the outboard becomes detached from the boat transom.
An effective security line should be of a working strength of at least five times the
weight of the outboard.
The security line should be attached between the boat and outboard following one
of these steps.
Step1. The length of the security line should be short enough and affixed in a
manner to prevent the outboard from rising up and disengaging off the boat
transom.
Step 2. The length of the security line should be long enough and affixed in a
manner to permit a detached outboard to submerge completely behind the boat
and stop running but not too short that could allow the outboard to continue running
and propel itself back into the boat.
WARNING
If the length of security line being used is long enough to allow the out-
board to disengage off the boat transom but is too short to not allow the
outboard to submerge behind the boat and stop running, the outboard
could continue running and propel itself back into the boat with the pro-
peller rotating under power. This exposes the occupants to serious injury
or death.

BATTERY INSTALLATION - ELECTRIC START MODELS
Mounting Battery
6 Follow battery manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Mount battery in the boat
so it is secured against movement, preferably in a battery box. Make sure
battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield to prevent accidental shorting
of battery terminals.
Note: Electric starting outboards must have the battery cables connected to a
battery whenever the engine is running. Even if started manually, as damage to
the charging system could result.

BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Connecting Outboard Battery Cables
7 First, connect the red battery cable to the (+) positive battery terminal and then
connect the black battery cable to the (-) negative battery terminal.
Disconnecting Outboard Battery Cables

PROPELLER SELECTION

The propeller supplied with your outboard provides the best overall
performance under average operating conditions.
Alternative propellers are available for specific boating requirements. See your
outboard dealer.

TRANSPORTING

TRANSPORTING YOUR OUTBOARD WHEN REMOVED
FROM BOAT
CAUTION
Transport and store the outboard only as shown. Otherwise, engine dam-
age or property damage could result from leaking oil.
1 With the outboard still in the water, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard
and run engine until it stops, draining carburetor. Remove outboard from the
boat and hold upright until all cooling water is drained out.
2 To prevent problems which can be caused by oil entering the cylinders from
the sump, transport and store the outboard only in one of the three positions
shown.
a. Upright
b. Tiller Side Down
c. Back Side Up

TRANSPORTING PORTABLE FUEL TANKS
Manual venting Type Fuel Tank
1 Close fuel tank air vent when transporting tank. This will prevent escape of fuel
or vapors from tank.
Auto-venting Type Fuel Tank
2 Disconnect the remote fuel line from tank. This will close the air vent and
prevent escape of fuel or vapors from tank.
3 Install tether cap (a) over the fuel line connector stem (b). This will protect the
connector stem from being accidently pushed-in, thus, allowing fuel or vapor
to escape.
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Follow
portable fuel tank transporting instructions. Transport the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area away from open flame or sparks.
