INSTALLATION
Location
Install the outboard motor at the
stern, at the center line of the boat.
Installation Height
The anti ventilation plate of the
outboard motor should be
0 – 25 mm (0 – 1 in) below the
bottom of the boat.
The correct dimensions differ
according to the type of boat and the
configuration of the bottom of the
boat. Follow the manufacture’s
recommended installation height.
• The water level must be at least
100 mm (4 in) above the anti
ventilation plate, otherwise the
water pump may not receive
sufficient cooling water, and the
engine will overheat.
• Adverse effect to the engine can
occur if the installation position
of the outboard motor is too low.
Trim/tilt down the outboard
motor with the boat fully loaded
and stop the engine. Check that
the idle port is 150 mm (5.9 in) or
more above the water level.
