MOTOR
w
Improper mounting of the outboard
motor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of con-
trol, or fire hazards. Observe the follow-
ing:
8 The information presented in this sec-
tion is intended as reference only. It is
not possible to provide complete
instructions for every possible
boat/motor combination. Proper
mounting depends in part on experi-
ence and the specific boat/motor com-
bination.
8 Your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper rigging should mount
the motor. If you are mounting the
motor yourself, you should be trained
by an experienced person. [permanent
mounted type]
8 Your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper outboard motor
mounting should show you how to
mount your motor. [portable type]
Mount the outboard motor on the center
line (keel line) of the boat, and ensure
that the boat itself is well balanced. Oth-
erwise, the boat will be hard to steer. For
boats without a keel or which are asym-
metrical, consult your dealer.
