Installation
The information presented in this section is
intended as reference only. It is not possible
to provide complete instructions for every
possible boat and motor combination. Proper
mounting depends in part on experience and
the specific boat and motor combination.
WARNING
EWM01590
 Overpowering a boat could cause se-
vere instability. Do not install an out-
board motor with more horsepower
than the maximum rating on the capac-
ity plate of the boat. If the boat does not
have a capacity plate, consult the boat
manufacturer.
 Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of
control, or fire hazards. For permanent-
ly mounted models, your dealer or oth-
er person experienced in proper rigging
should mount the motor.
EMU33470
Mounting the outboard motor
The outboard motor should be mounted so
that the boat is well balanced. Otherwise, the
boat could be hard to steer. For single-en-
gine boats, mount the outboard motor on the
centerline (keel line) of the boat.
EMU26934
Mounting height (boat bottom)
The mounting height of your outboard motor
affects its efficiency and reliability. If it is
mounted too high, propeller ventilation may
occur, which will reduce propulsion due to
excessive propeller slip, and the water in-
takes for the cooling system may not get ad-
equate water supply, which can cause
engine overheating. If the engine is mounted
too low, water resistance (drag) will increase,
thereby reducing engine efficiency and per-
formance.
Most commonly, outboard motor should be
mounted so that the anti-cavitation plate is in
alignment with the bottom of the boat. The
optimum mounting height of the outboard
motor is affected by the boat/motor combina-
tion and the desired use. Test runs at differ-
ent heights can help determine the optimum
mounting height. Consult your Yamaha deal-
er or boat manufacturer for further informa-
tion on determining the proper mounting
height.
