permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper
rigging should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should
be trained by an experienced person. For portable models, your dealer or other person
experienced in proper outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your
motor.
z The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
2.1.1 Mounting height
The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the
mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting
height is too low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount
the outboard motor so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level
25mm below it.
