CAUTION:
WARNING
Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result in hazardous conditions
such as poor handling, loss of control, or
fire hazards. Observe the following:
Incorrect engine height or obstructions
to smooth water flow (such as the design
or condition of the boat, or accessories
such as transom ladders or depth finder
transducers) can create airborne water
spray while the boat is cruising. Severe
engine damage may result if the motor is
operated continuously in the presence of
airborne water spray.
q
For permanently mounted models, your
dealer or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the motor.
If you are mounting the motor yourself,
you should be trained by an experi-
enced person.
NOTE:
q For portable models, your dealer or oth-
er person experienced in proper out-
board motor mounting should show
you how to mount your motor.
During water testing check the buoyancy of
the boat, at rest, with its maximum load.
Check that the static water level on the ex-
haust housing is low enough to prevent wa-
ter entry into the powerhead, when water
rises due to waves when the outboard is not
running.
Mount the outboard motor on the center line
(keel line) of the boat, and ensure that the
boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise the
boat will be hard to steer. For boats without
a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult
your dealer.

Overpowering a boat could cause se-
vere instability. Do not install an out-
board motor with more horsepower

ity plate of the boat. If the boat does not
have a capacity plate, consult the boat
manufacturer.
