Installation; Power Requirements; Installation Position - Honda BF2D 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.
Install the outboard motor so the
antiventilation plate is at or slightly
below the bottom of the boat. When
the boat is in the water and normally
loaded, make sure the antiventilation
plate is at least 6 in (150 mm) below
the surface of the water. If your
installation does not meet both these
conditions, see your Honda marine
dealer for advice.

INSTALLATION

The correct dimensions differ
according to the type of the boat and
the configuration of the bottom of
the boats. Follow the manufacturer's
recommended installation height.
