Boat Horsepower Capacity
WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1) cause
loss of boat control 2) place too much weight at the transom altering the designed
flotation characteristics of the boat or 3) cause the boat to break apart particularly
around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or
boat damage.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required capacity plate
indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as determined by the manufacturer
following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat
manufacturer.
