• The water level must be at least
100 mm (4 in) above the
anticavitation plate, otherwise
the water pump may not receive
sufficient cooling water, and the
engine will overheat.
• Adverse effect to the engine can
occur if the installation position
of the outboard motor is too low.
Trim/tilt down the outboard
motor with the boat fully loaded
and stop the engine. Check that
the idle port is 150 mm (5.9 in)
