Installation; Installation Position; Installation Height - Honda BF15A Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION
It is your responsibility to choose a boat suitable for the outboard motor.
Do not exceed the boat manufacturer's
power recommendation. Damage and
injury may result.
INSTALLATION POSITION
Install at the stern, at the center line
of the boat.
INSTALLATION HEIGHT
For proper propeller depth and en-
gine cooling, the boat and outboard
motor transom height must match.
Three outboard motor transom
heights are available. Match your
boat's transom height to the out-
board motor transom height shown
below.
The antiventilation plate should be
0
- 2
in (0 - 50 mm) below the
bottom of the boat. With the boat in
the water, loaded and motor off, the
antiventilation plate should be about
3.9 in (100 mm) below the surface
of the water.
Running the outboard motor with-
out sufficient cooling water willdam-
age the water pump and overheat
the engine.
