To run your  boat at optimum  efficiency, the
water resistance (drag) of  the boat and out-
board motor must be made as little as possi-
ble.  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 if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine
speed will rise abnormally and cause the en-
gine to overheat. If the mounting height is too
low, the  water resistance  will increase  and
thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the
outboard  motor  so  that  the  anti-cavitation
plate is between the  bottom of the boat and
a level 25 mm (1 in) below it.
ity plate of the boat. If the boat does not
have a capacity plate,  consult the boat
manufacturer.
Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor  could  result  in  hazardous   condi-
tions  such  as  poor handling,  loss  of
control, or fire hazards. For permanent-
ly mounted models, your dealer or oth-

experienced
in
proper
rigging should mount the motor.

WARNING
Your dealer or other  person experienced
in
proper   outboard    motor   mounting
should show you how to mount your out-
board 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.
