Overpowering a  boat may  cause severe
instability.   Do not  install   an outboard
motor  with more  horsepower  than  the
maximum rating on  the capacity plate of
the  boat.  If  the  boat  does  not  have  a
capacity plate, consult the boat  manufac-
turer.

Mounting Height
To run  your boat  at optimum  efficiency,
the  water-resistance   (drag)  of the  boat
and outboard motor must  be made as lit-
tle as  possible.  The mounting  height  of
the  outboard  motor  greatly  affects  the
water-resistance.  If the  mounting-height
is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus
reducing the  propulsion and  causing the
engine   to  overheat.   If  the  mounting-
height is too low, the water-resistance will
increase and  thereby reduce  engine effi-
ciency. Mount the engine so the anti-cavi-
tation plate is about 130 mm (5  in.) above
the bottom of the boat.

The  optimum mounting  height  of  the
outboard    motor  is   affected   by  the
boat/motor  combination.  Test  runs at
different heights can help determine the
optimum mounting height.
For   further    details,     consult    your
Yamaha dealer  or boat  manufacture to
determine the proper mounting height.
Refer to  the section  “TRIMMING OUT-
BOARD  MOTOR”  for  instructions   on
setting the trim angle of the outboard.
