Attachment - Honda BF8D Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION
When the outboard motor is installed
extremely low, the idle port may be
immersed and the engine may
become hard to start or may run
poorly. Check that the idle port is
high enough from the water level
when the engine is stopped with the
boat fully loaded.
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boat will squat and be hard to
plane, and the outboard motor will
spray water that may enter the boat. It
will tend to porpoise, and high-speed
stability will be reduced.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause propeller
ventilation.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat type and bottom shape.
Contact the boat manufacturer for any
special recommendations that are
unique to a specif ic model of boat.

If the transom needs to be modified
to accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.
