• Before beginning the running test,
check that the boat with maximum
capacity loading floats on the water
in a proper attitude. Check the
position of water surface on the
driveshaft housing. If the water
surface is near the bottom cowling,
in high waves, water may enter the
engine cylinders.
• Incorrect outboard motor mounting
height or existence of underwater
object(s), such as hull bottom
design, bottom surface conditions
or underwater accessories, can
cause water spray possibly reaching
the engine through an opening of
the bottom cowling during cruising.
Exposing the engine to such
conditions for extended periods can
lead to severe engine damage.

!
If the length of security line being used
is long enough to allow the outboard
to disengage off the boat transom but
is too short to not allow the outboard
to submerge behind the boat and stop
running, the outboard could continue
running and propeller it self back into
the boat with the propeller rotating
under power. This exposes the
occupants to serious injury or death.

• Mounting the outboard motor without
following this manual can lead to
unsafe conditions such as poor
maneuverability, lack of control or fire.
• Loose clamp screws and/or mounting
bolts can lead to the release or
displacement of the outboard motor,
possibly resulting in lost of control
and/or serious personal injury. Be
sure that fasteners are tightened to
the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf)
13ft·lb). Check the fasteners for
tightness from time to time.
• Be sure to use outboard mounting
fasteners included in the outboard
motor package or their equivalents in
terms of size, material, quality and
strength.
Tighten fasteners to the specified
torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft·lb). Test
cruise to check if fasteners are
tightened securely.
• Outboard motor mounting must be
performed by trained service
person(s) using lift or hoist with
sufficient capacity.
