Installing Outboard
INSTALLING OUTBOARD ON TRANSOM
IMPORTANT: Most boats are rated and certified in terms of their maximum
horsepower, and this is shown on the boat's certification plate. Do not equip
your boat with an outboard that exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your
dealer. Do not operate the engine unit until it has been securely mounted on
the boat in accordance with the instructions below.
1. Position the outboard at the center of the transom. Mount it using a
cushioning pad or plate.
a - Boat transom
BOAT TRANSOM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT
1. Measure the transom height of your boat. The anti‑ventilation plate should
be 30–50 mm (1.2–2 in.) below the bottom of the boat.
