INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
@
Incorrect engine height or obstructions
to smooth water flow (such as the design
or condition of the boat or accessories
such as transom ladders/depth finder
transducers) can create airborne water
spray while the boat is cruising. Severe
engine damage may result if the motor is
operated continuously in the presence of
airborne water spray.
@
NOTE:
@
During water testing check the buoyancy of
the boat, at rest, with its maximum load.
Check that the static water level on the
exhaust housing is low enough to prevent
water entry into the powerhead, when water
rises due to waves when the outboard is not
running.
