ANTICAVITATION PLATE
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boat will squat and be hard
to plane, and the engine will spray
water that may enter the boat. It will
tend to porpoise, and high-speed
stability will be reduced.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause propeller
ventilation.
IDLE PORT
The water level must be at least
100 mm (4 in) above the
anticavitation plate with the engine
not running, otherwise the water
