For a greater boat load and a low engine speed, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable. Conversely, a large-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load as it enables the correct engine speed to be maintained.

Page 13: Operation
2. Operation 2.1 Installation Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer. Center line (keel line) NOTE: During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power head, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running. -
Page 14: Mounting Height
Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions. 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. -
Page 15: Clamping The Outboard Motor
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. 2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. -
Page 16: Breaking In Engine
Attach to a secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the engine being completely lost if it accidentally falls off the transom. 3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your PARSUN dealer. - Page 17 Gasoline and oil mixing: 25:1 Break-in period Gasoline Engine oil 0.04L 0.48L 0.56L 0.96L CAUTION: Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage. 1. First 10 minutes: Run the engine at idle. Next 50 minutes: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately half throttle.
