Boat Horsepower Capacity

1
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a required
capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable power and load as
determined by the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat
can: 1. cause loss of boat control 2. place too much weight at the transom
altering the designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3. cause the boat
to break apart particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat
can result in serious injury, death or boat damage.
