ENGINE INSTALLATION

Installation Information

BOAT HORSEPOWER CAPACITY
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit
of a boat can: 1) cause loss of boat control 2) place too much
weight at the transom altering the designed flotation
characteristics of the boat or 3) cause the boat to break apart
particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can
result in serious injury, death or boat damage.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power
and load as determined by the manufacturer following certain
federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat
manufacturer.
START IN GEAR PROTECTION
Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden unexpected
acceleration when starting your engine. The design of this
outboard requires that the remote control used with it must have
a built in start in neutral only protection device.
The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped
with a start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the
engine from starting in gear.
