Outboard Mounting Notice
!
WARNING
Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the required mounting hardware as shown.
Failure to correctly fasten outboard could result in outboard ejecting off boat transom causing serious injury,
death, or property damage.
We strongly recommend that your dealer install your outboard and related accessories to ensure proper
installation and good performance. If you install the outboard yourself, refer to the Outboard Installation section.
The outboard must be secured to the transom with the four 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) diameter mounting bolts and
locknuts provided. Install two bolts through the upper set of holes and two bolts through the lower set of holes.

Propeller Selection
For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a propeller that allows the engine
to operate in the upper half of the recommended full throttle RPM range with the boat normally loaded (refer to
General Information - Specifications). This RPM range allows for better acceleration while maintaining maximum
boat speed.
