When installing the cowling, check to be sure it fits properly in the rubber seal.
Then lock the cowling by moving the lever(s) downward.
Carrying handle
A carrying handle is provided on the rear of the outboard motor. It enables you
to carry the outboard motor easily with one hand.
Instllation
CAUTION:
Incorrect engine height or obstructions to smooth water flow (such as the
design or condition of the boat, or accessories such as transom ladders or
depth finder transducers) can create airborne water spray while the boat is
cruising. Severe engine damage may result if the motor is operated
continuously is the presence of airborne water spray.
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its
maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is
low enough to prevent water entry into the powerhead, when water rises due
to waves when the outboard is not running.
Mounting the outboard motor
Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor
with more horsepower than the maximum rating on capacity plate of the boat. If the
boat does not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. It
is not possible to provide complete instructions for every possible boat
and motor combination. Proper mounting depends in part on experience
and the specific boat and motor combination.
Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions
such as poor handling, loss of control, or fire hazards. Observe the following:
For permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experenced
in proper rigging should mount the motor. If your are mounting the motor
yourself, you should be trained by an experenced person.
For portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper
outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor.
Mount the outboard on the center line (keel line) of the boat, and ensure that
the boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise the boat will be hard to steer.
Forboats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer.
