Remote Control Cable Length; Propeller Selection - TOHATSU BFT 60A Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION
<Remote Control Cable Length>
Measure the distance from the control
box to the outboard motor along the
cable routing.
Recommended cable length is 300 –
450 mm (11.8 – 17.7 in) longer than
the measured distance.
Set the cable along the predetermined
route and be sure that it is long
enough to the route.
Connect the cable to the engine and
be sure it is not kinked, bent sharp,
pulled taut, or interfered while
steering.
54
Do not bend the remote control
cable as sharp as its route diameter
is 300 mm (11.8 in) or less, or it
affects the service life of the cable
and the remote control lever
operation.

Propeller Selection

Select the adequate propeller so that
the engine speed at full throttle is
-1
5,000 min (rpm) to 6,000 min
(rpm) when the boat is loaded.
Engine speed varies according to the
propeller size and the boat condition.
Use of the outboard motor outside the
full throttle speed range will
adversely affect the engine and cause
serious problem. Use of the correct
propeller assures powerful
acceleration, top speed, excellency in
terms of economy and cruising
comfort, and it assures longer engine
life as well.
Consult with your authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for
proper propeller selection.
