Installation; Power Requirements; Boat Transom Requirements; Installation Position - Honda BF15D Owner's Manual

Correct and secure installation is
essential for safe boating and good
performance. Follow the installation
instructions provided in this manual.

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 applications, the outboard
motor should have a horsepower
rating which provides 80% of the
maximum recommended horsepower
for the boat.
