INSTALLATION
TRANSOM HEIGHT
Make sure the transom height matches the
length of the outboard to be installed.
WARNING
Your outboard must not exceed the
maximum horsepower indicated on • A 19 to 21 in. (48.3 to 53.3 cm) transom
the boat’s capacity plate. Such over-
powering can cause loss of control.
Contact your Dealer or the boat’s
manufacturer if your boat lacks a
capacity plate.
height uses a 20 in. (50.8 cm) shaft out-
board.
The shaft length of the outboard being in-
stalled should come close to matching the
transom height of the boat.
•
Determine transom height by measuring from
the top edge of the transom, along the center-
line.
Boats designed for remote-steered
outboards might be overpowered by
a tiller-steered outboard of the maxi-
mum rated horsepower. Ask your
Dealer or boat manufacturer if you
are unsure about your boat’s suit-
ability.

Incorrectly matched boat and out-
board transom heights can cause
boat instability and loss of control.
Refer to Transom Height.

Prevent lateral movement and possi-
ble outboard loss by using the

Antiventilation plate
Transom Height
A mounting surface that is damaged
or too thin to support your outboard
while underway might fail during
operation, causing a loss of control.
Be sure the boat’s transom or
mounting bracket is structurally
sound and between 1 5/8 in. (41 mm)
and 2 3/4 in. (70 mm) in thickness.
Boat performance depends on outboard
mounting height.
Generally, the anti-ventilation plate of the
gearcase should align with the bottom of the
hull. Conventional V-hulls often perform well
with the anti-ventilation plate approximately 1
in. (25 mm) above the bottom of the hull.
Test outboard and boat performance at differ-
ent heights until the best performance is
achieved.
NOTICE
Use an appropriate hoist to lift
the engine. Refer to Specifications on IMPORTANT: Be sure that outboard water

pressure is not adversely affected by the
mounting height of the outboard.
