OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
DETERMINING OUTBOARD MOUNTING HEIGHT FOR A TORQUE
MASTER II GEAR HOUSING
The following mounting height information is a general guideline for most
applications. Every boat has a unique characteristic that may require the
mounting height to be changed from the guidelines explained here. Installing a
set‑back bracket or jackplate is the responsibility of the installer to verify the
installation is the right combination for the boat.

a - The solid line is recommended to determine the outboard mounting
height
b - The broken lines represent the extremes of known successful outboard
mounting height dimensions
c - This line may be preferred to determine outboard mounting height
dimension, if maximum speed is the only objective
d - This line may be preferred to determine outboard mounting height
dimension for dual outboard installation
e - Outboard mounting height (height of outboard mounting brackets from
bottom of boat transom). For heights over 56.0 cm (22 in.), a propeller
that is designed for piercing the water surface is usually preferred.
NOTE: For 63.5 cm (25 in.) (XL) models, add 12.7 cm (5 in.) to the standard
(L) measurement.
IMPORTANT: Do not mount this engine higher than 66.04 cm (26 in.) on a
long (L) model or 78.9 cm (31 in.) on an extra‑long (XL) model. Mounting
these engines higher than the maximum recommended height, will cause
damage to the gear housing. Damage caused from excessive mounting
height is not covered under the warranty policy.
