MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR
WARNING
@
●
Overpowering a boat may cause
severe instability. Do not install an out-
board motor with more horsepower
than the maximum rating on the capac-
ity plate of the boat. If the boat does
not have a capacity plate, consult the
boat manufacturer.
●
The information presented in this sec-
tion is intended as reference only. It is
not possible to provide complete
instructions for every possible boat/
motor combination. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the
specific boat/motor combination.

WARNING
@
Improper mounting of the outboard
motor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of con-
trol, or fire hazards. Observe the
following:
●
For permanently mounted models,
your dealer or other person experi-
enced in proper rigging should mount
the motor. If you are mounting the
motor yourself, you should be trained
by an experienced person.
●
For portable models, your dealer or
other person experienced in proper
outboard motor mounting should
show you how to mount your motor.
@
Mount the outboard motor on the center line
(keel line) of the boat, and ensure that the
boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise, the
boat will be hard to steer. For boats without
a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult
your dealer.
