Attach the stern bracket to the
transom and tighten the clamp
screws. Push the carrying handle
into the storage position.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause propeller
ventilation.
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boat will squat and be hard
to plane, and the engine will spray
water that may enter the boat. It will
tend to porpoise, and high-speed
stability will be reduced.
