Optimum boat performance depends on outboard
mounting height. Boats that exceed 50 MPH may
benefit from higher outboard mounting heights.
Consult the boat manufacturer for specific out-

hull.
Water test the outboard and boat with different
outboard mounting heights until the best perfor-
mance is achieved.
