ANTICAVITATION PLATE
The anticavitation plate of the
outboard motor should be
0 – 25 mm (0 – 1 in) below the
bottom of the boat.
The correct dimensions differ
according to the type of boat and the
configuration of the bottom of the
boat. Follow the manufacture's
recommended installation height.
IDLE PORT
150 mm (5.9 in)
or more
WATER LEVEL
FULLY TRIM/TILT DOWN
• The water level must be at least
100 mm (4 in) above the
anticavitation plate, otherwise
the water pump may not receive
sufficient cooling water, and the
engine will overheat.
• Adverse effect to the engine can
occur if the installation position
of the outboard motor is too low.
Trim/tilt down the outboard
motor with the boat fully loaded
and stop the engine. Check that
the idle port is 150 mm (5.9 in) or
more above the water level.
