Mounting Height - Parsun T40J BM Owner's Manual

WARNING：

Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more
horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a
capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.

Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions. For permanently
mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging should mount the motor.
If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be trained by an experienced person. For
portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper outboard motor mounting
should show you how to mount your motor.

The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting depends in
part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting height is
too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too low, the water
resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that the
anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it.
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is
affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired
use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the
optimum mounting height. For further information, consult
your "PARSUN" dealer or boat manufacturer.
