INSTALLATION

1. Mounting the outboard motor on boat

WARNING
!
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.
Installation
■ Single-engine Installation
Position the outboard engine at the
exact center of the stern, and mount it
using a cushioning pad or plate.

of 470~660mm (for 30,40 and 50
models) or 700~890mm (for 75,90
and 115 model) between the two.

CAUTION
!
● 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.
