3. INSTALLATION
It is your responsibility to choose a
boat suitable for the engine.
8.0 HP (6.0 kW)
STERN CENTER
Do not exceed the boat manu-
facturer's power recommendation.
Damage and injury may result.
1. Installation position
Install at the stern, at the center line
of the boat.
2. Installation height
For proper propeller depth and
engine cooling, the boat and
outboard motor transom height
must match.
Three outboard motor transom
heights are available. Match your
boats transom height to the
outboard motor transom height
shown below.
The anti-ventilation plate should be
O-50 mm (O-2 in) below the
bottom of the boat. With the boat in
the water, loaded and motor off, the
anti-ventilation plate should be
about 100 mm (3.9 in) below the
surface of the water.
[NOTlCEj
Running the outboard motor
without sufficient cooling water
will damage the water pump and
overheat the engine.
