INSTALLATION
Transom Height and Shaft Length
The  transom  height  dimension  listed  in   Engine
Specifications is the height of the boat transom
your engine needs. This dimension is measured at
the transom centerline, perpendicular to the bottom
of the boat.
WARNING
Your engine must not exceed the maximum
horsepower indicated on the boat’s capacity
plate. Such overpowering can cause loss of
control. Contact your DEALER or the boat’s
manufacturer if your boat lacks    a capacity
plate.
Boats designed for remote-steered engines
might  be  overpowered   by  a  tiller-steered
engine  of  the  maximum  rated  horsepower.
Ask your DEALER or boat manufacturer is
you are unsure about your boat’s suitability.

Prevent   lateral   movement   and   possible
engine loss by bolting the outboard to the
boat’s transom.  Refer  to Installing  the Out-
board.
Use this procedure to determine whether or not the
boat’s  transom  height  is  correct  for  the  engine’s
shaft length:
Lift the engine using the lift grips (NOT the tilt grip
or steering handle) and place it in the center of the
boat’s transom.
A mounting  surface that is  damaged or  too
thin to support  your engine while underway
might fail during operation, causing you to
lose control. Be sure the boat’s transom or
mounting bracket is structurally sound and
between 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) and 2 1/4 in. (57
mm) in thickness.
