Mounting Height - Coleman F5BMS-C Owner's Manual

outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor.
The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting
height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too low,
the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that
the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it.
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the optimum
mounting height. For further information, consult your dealer or boat manufacturer.
