INSTALLATION
■ Transom Height
Install the engine with the Anti-
ventilation Plate at a level 10~30mm
(0.4~1.2in.) below the bottom of the
boat.

■ Transom Matching
Be sure that anti ventilation plate
of the outboard is below the water
surface when running with wide
open throttle.
In case the above condition cannot
be met due to the shape of your
boat, please consult your authorized
dealer.
!
Overheating may occur if the Anti-
ventilation Plate is at a level higher
than the bottom of the boat, as a
resultof a lack of cooling water.
If the height difference exceeds
10~30mm (0.4~1.2 in) engine
power performance is likely to
be reduced a result of increased
water resistance to the gear case
assembly.

■ Attaching the Clamp Bracket
After positioning the Clamp Bracket,
fix it with clamp screw fitted on the
type "without Shock Absorber" then
drill four holes in the transom board,
matching the holes in the Clamp
Bracket. Secure the engine with the
supplied bolts (M12×105mm) and
nuts, Be sure to use the washers.
Use the larger diameter washers
inside of the transom board and use
the small diameter washers outside
of the clamp bracket.
The mounting holes may be drilled
beforehand by referring to the
dimensional drawing.

!
• Mounting the outboard motor
without following this manual can
lead to unsafe conditions such as
poor maneuverability, going out of
control or fire disaster.
• Loose clamp screws and/or mounting
bolts can lead to the release or
displacement of the outboard motor,
possibly resulting in lost of control
and/or serious personal injury. Be
sure that fasteners are tightened to
the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf)
13ft·lb). Check the fasteners for
tightness from time to time.
• Be sure to use outboard mounting
fasteners included in the outboard
motor package or their equivalents
in terms of size, material, quality
and strength.
Tighten fasteners to the specified
torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft·lb). Test
cruise to check if fasteners are
tightened securely.
• Outboard motor mounting must
be performed by trained service
person(s) using lift or hoist with
sufficient capacity.
