Clamping the outboard motor
1.
Place  the outboard  motor on  the  tran-
som so  that it is  positioned as close  to
the center as possible. Tighten the tran-
som clamp screws evenly and securely.
Occasionally  check  the  clamp  screws
for tightness during operation of the out-
board  motor  because  they   could  be-
come  loose   due  to  engine   vibration.

could allow the outboard motor to fall
off  or  move   on  the  transom.  This
could cause loss of control  and seri-
ous  injury.  Make  sure  the  transom
screws are tightened securely. Occa-

NOTICE
q
Check  that  the   idle  hole  stays   high
enough to keep out water getting inside
engine even if  the boat is in stationary
with maximum load.
q
Incorrect engine height or obstructions
to the smooth flow of water (such as the
design or  condition of the  boat, or ac-
cessories such  as transom  ladders or
depth  finder  transducers)  can  create
airborne water  spray while  the boat is
cruising. If  the motor is  operated con-
tinuously  in the  presence  of  airborne
water spray, enough  water could enter
the engine  through the intake opening
on the cowling to  cause severe engine
damage. Eliminate the cause of the air-
borne water spray.

2.
If   the   restraint   cable  attachment   is
equipped on your engine, a restraint ca-
ble or chain should be used. Attach one
end  to  the  restraint  cable  attachment
and the other to a secure mounting point
on the boat. Otherwise the engine could
be completely  lost if it accidentally  falls
off the transom.
TIP:
q
The optimum  mounting height of  the out-
board  motor is  affected by  the  boat and
motor  combination and  the  desired  use.
Test runs at different heights can help de-
termine   the  optimum   mounting  height.
Consult your Yamaha dealer or boat man-
ufacturer for  further information on  deter-
mining the proper mounting height.
