If equipped, tighten clamp screws by hand, NOT
with tools.
Installing the Engine
Adjust the motor angle so the antiventilation plate is
parallel with the boat bottom. Refer to Motor Angle
Adjustment.
WARNING
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death or prop-
erty damage. We strongly recommend that
your Dealer install your outboard to ensure
proper installation.
The resulting position of the antiventilation plate
must be no higher than the boat’s bottom and no
lower than 2 in. (5,1 cm) below it.
If the resulting position of the antiventilation plate is
above or below the 0 to 2 in. (0 to 5,1 cm) range, the
engine shaft length must be changed or the boat’s
transom must be modified.
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully. The
engine’s warranty will not cover product damage or
failure that results from incorrect engine installation.
If you install and operate the engine:
Lower than recommended — Serious powerhead
damage could result from water entry into the lower
engine cover or overloading from an under-revving
propeller at wide open throttle.
WARNING
Higher than recommended — Serious powerhead
damage could result from inadequate cooling or an
over-revving propeller. Propeller ventilation (slip-
page) often occurs, resulting in poor boat perfor-
mance.
Even if equipped with clamp screws, your
engine must be bolted to the boat to prevent
it from “working off the transom” during
operation.
On a specialty hull, non-planing hull, or on a boat
with a curved transom, these guidelines might not
apply. See your Dealer for special installation infor-
mation.
Center the engine on the boat’s transom (or mount-
ing bracket) and tighten the clamp screws by hand,
NOT with tools. See your Dealer for an accessory
transom plate to protect the boat’s transom.
