Checking the outboard motor
mounting height
1. Check that the anti-cavitation plate is
between the bottom of the boat and a
maximum of 25 mm (1 in) a below it. If
the mounting height is too high, cavitation
will occur and propulsion will be reduced.
Also, the engine speed will increase
abnormally and cause the engine to over-
heat. If the mounting height is too low,
water resistance will increase and reduce
engine efficiency.
