Installation; Power Requirements; Installation Position - Honda Marine BF2.3D Owner's Manual

Correct and secure installation is
essential for safe boating and good
performance. Follow the installation
instructions provided in this manual.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Before installation, check to be sure
that the outboard motor does not
exceed the recommended maximum
horsepower for the boat on which it
is to be installed. Refer to the boat's
certification plate for recommended
maximum horsepower. If the
certification plate information is not
available, contact the boat dealer or
manufacturer.
For most applications, the outboard
motor should have a horsepower
rating which provides 80% of the
maximum recommended horsepower
for the boat.

INSTALLATION POSITION

CENTER LINE
Install the outboard motor on the
center of the boat transom.
The antiventilation plate of the
outboard motor should be 0
(0 50 mm) below the bottom of
the boat. When the outboard motor is
mounted on a sailboat, the
antiventilation plate should be 6 in
(150 mm) or more below the surface
of the water. For unusual situations,
see your Honda Marine dealer for
advice.
The correct dimensions differ
according to the type of boat and the
configuration of the bottom of the
boat. Follow the manufacturer's
recommended installation height.
