Cowlings
The cowling lock levers, which were located on the rear of the outboard motor for previous models,
have been moved closer to the top of the top cowling and the rear portion of the top cowling is shorter.
As a result, it is easier to access the cowling lock levers from the boat and remove and install the top
cowling. In addition, the cowling lock levers can be released using a simple 2-step operation. By using
a lightweight SMC (sheet molding compound) material, the weight of the cowlings has been reduced
by 4.3 kg (9.5 lb) compared to the F350A (F350CC).
The bottom cowling cover and bottom cowlings can also be removed and installed while the boat is
docked for improved serviceability. The bottom cowling cover and bottom cowlings use anti-detach-
ment bolts except for 1 location at the front of each bottom cowling.
