Most commonly, outboard motor should be
mounted so that the anti-cavitation plate is in
alignment with the bottom of the boat. The
optimum mounting height of the outboard
motor is affected by the boat/motor combina-
tion and the desired use. Test runs at differ-
ent heights can help determine the optimum
mounting height. Consult your Yamaha deal-
er or boat manufacturer for further informa-
tion on determining the proper mounting
height.
Mounting the outboard motor
The outboard motor should be mounted so
that the boat is well balanced. Otherwise, the
boat could be hard to steer. For single-en-
gine boats, mount the outboard motor on the
centerline (keel line) of the boat.
