INSTALLATION

1. Mounting the outboard motor on boat

�������
!
Most boats are rated and certified
in terms of their maximum allowable
horsepower, as shown on the boat's
certification plate. Do not equip your
boat with an outboard motor that
exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact
your dealer.
Do not operate the outboard motor
until it has been securely mounted
on the boat in accordance with the
instructions below.
Note
Consult your authorized dealer to
receive the proper instructions or ask
your dealer to mount the motor as
necessary.

• Before beginning the running test,
check that the boat with maximum
capacity loading floats on the
water in a proper attitude. Check
the position of water surface on
the driveshaft housing. If the water
surface is near the bottom cowling,
in high waves, water may enter the
engine cylinders.
• Incorrect outboard motor mounting
height or existence of underwater
object(s), such as hull bottom
design, bottom surface conditions or
underwater accessories, can cause
water spray possibly reaching the
engine through an opening of the
bottom cowling during cruising.
Exposing engine to such conditions
for extended periods can lead to
severe engine damage.
