Mounting the outboard motor

Proper mounting of the outboard motor will
provide better performance, maximum reli-
ability, and highest customer satisfaction.
This chapter contains the specifications nec-
essary to mount the outboard motor, and
may vary slightly depending on applications.
When mounting the outboard motor, make
sure that there is sufficient clearance for the
outboard motor to fully move to port and star-
board, as well as fully tilt up. See "Dimen-
sions" (3-2).
1. Place the outboard motor on the vertical
centerline of the boat transom. Check
that distance a is equal to distance b
and that distance c is equal to distance
d.

boat and a maximum of 25 mm (1 in) f
below it.

This mounting height information is for refer-
ence only. It is impossible to provide com-
plete instructions for every possible boat and
outboard motor combination.
3. Adjust the height of the scale g to the
transom height (H), and place it on the
special service tool 1. Secure the spe-
cial service tool 1 to the boat transom
using screws or vises.
TIP:
For the distance (H), see "Dimensions" (3-2).
4. When the outboard motor mount position
has determined, mark the best suited 4
symmetrical mounting holes to the boat
transom h. Drill the mounting holes per-
pendicular to the surface of the boat tran-
som using 10.5 mm (0.4 in) (manual tilt
model) or 13.0 mm (0.5 in) (PTT model)
drill bit.
