Most boats are rated and certified in terms
of their maximum allowable horsepower,
as shown on the boat’s certification plate.
Do not equip your boat with an outboard
motor that exceeds this limit. If in doubt,
contact your dealer.
Do not operate the outboard motor until it
has been securely mounted on the boat in
accordance with the instructions below.
Note
Consult your authorized dealer to receive
the proper instructions or ask your dealer to
mount the motor as necessary.
Installation
Single-engine Installation
Position the outboard engine at the exact
center of the stern, and mount it using a
cushioning pad or plate.
Twin-engine Installation
When installing two outboard engines, be
sure to keep an interval of approximately
470 - 660 mm (18.5 - 26 in) between the
two.
Before beginning the running test, check
that the boat with maximum capacity
loading floats on the water in a proper
attitude. Check the position of water
surface on the driveshaft housing. If the
water surface is near the bottom cowl-
ing, in high waves, water may enter the
engine cylinders.
Incorrect outboard motor mounting
height or existence of underwater
object(s), such as hull bottom design,
bottom surface conditions or underwa-
ter accessories, can cause water spray
possibly reaching the engine through an
opening of the bottom cowling during
cruising. Exposing engine to such condi-
tions for extended periods can lead to
severe engine damage.
