INSTALLATION

It is your responsibility to choose a boat suitable for the outboard motor.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Before installation, check to be sure that the outboard motor does not exceed

the recommended maximum horsepower for the boat on which it is to be

installed. Refer to the boat's certification plate for recommended maximum

horsepower. If the certification plate information is not available, contact the

boat dealer or manufacturer.

For most boat applications, the outboard motor should have a horsepower

which provides 80% of the maximum recommended horsepower for the boat.

Install at the stern, at the center line

of the boat.

For proper propeller depth and en-

gine cooling, the boat and outboard

motor transom height must match.

Two outboard motor transom

heights are available. Match your

boat's transom height to the out-
