  • Page 21: Operation

    2 Operation 2.1 Installation ount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer. 1. center line (keel line) NOTE: During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the powerhead, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.
  • Page 22: Mounting Height

    2.1.1 Mounting height The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it.
  • Page 23: Clamping The Outboard Motor

    2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor 1. Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine vibration. CAUTION: Outboards that use clamp bracket screws alone are INSUFFICIENT to properly and safely secure the outboard to the Transom.
  • Page 24: Breaking In Engine

    3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your dealer. WARNING Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers inappropriate. After tightening, test run the engine and check their tightness. 2.2 Breaking in engine Your new engine requires a period of breaking to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly. CAUTION: Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage.
  • Page 25: Pre-Operation Checks

    2.3 Pre-operation checks Fuel Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip. Make sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes. Check fuel line connections to be sure they are tight Be sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not twisted or flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects.
  • Page 26 Checking the engine oil level 1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted). 2.Check the oil level using the dipstick to be sure the level falls between the upper and lower marks. Fill with oil if it is below the lower mark, or drain to the specified level if it is above the upper mark. 1....
