WATER LEVEL
FULLY TRIM/TILT
DOWN
The water level must be at least 4 in
(100 mm) above the antiventilation
plate, otherwise the water pump may
not receive sufficient cooling water,
and the engine will overheat.
Adverse effect to the engine can
occur if the installation position of
the outboard motor is too low. Trim/
tilt down the outboard motor with the
boat fully loaded and stop the engine.
Check that the idle port is 5.9 in (150
mm) or more above the water level.

low, the boat will squat and be hard
to plane, and the outboard motor will
spray water that may enter the boat. It

will tend to porpoise, and high-speed
or more
stability will be reduced.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause propeller
ventilation.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat type and bottom shape.
Contact the boat manufacturer for
any special recommendations that are
unique to a specific model of boat.
If the transom needs to be modified
to accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.
