Outboard motor mounting
Proper mounting of the outboard motor pro-
vides better performance, maximum reliabil-
ity, and the highest customer satisfaction.
This chapter contains the specifications nec-
essary to mount the outboard motor, and
may vary slightly depending on applications.
When mounting the outboard motor, make
sure that there is sufficient clearance for the
outboard motor to fully tilt up, and to fully
move to port and starboard. See “External
dimensions” (3-2).
1. For single outboard motor installation,
place the outboard motor on the vertical
centerline of the boat transom. For the
hull without strakes, make a same radius
(R) at both sides of hull, and have
another measurement points.
È Hull without strakes
É Hull with strakes
TIP:
Make sure that the distance a is equal to
distance b, and the distance c is equal to
distance d.
For twin outboard motor installation, place
the outboard motors so that the distance from
the C/L of each outboard motor to the C/L of
the boat transom are equal on both sides.
TIP:
• Make sure that the distance e is equal to
distance f.
• For the distance (T1), see “External dimen-
sions” (3-2).
For triple outboard motor installation, place
the center outboard motor so that the C/L of
the outboard motor is aligned with the C/L of
the boat transom. Place the other 2 out-
board motors on both sides so that the dis-
tances from the C/L of the outboard motors
to the C/L of the boat transom are equal.
