Transom Height
Install the engine with the Anti-ventilation
Plate at a level 10~30mm (0.4~1.2in.)
below the bottom of the boat.
10 ~ 30mm (0.4~1.2 in.)
Anti-ventilation Plate
Transom Matching
Be sure that anti ventilation plate of the
outboard is below the water surface when
running with wide open throttle.
In case the above condition cannot be met
due to the shape of your boat, please con-
sult your authorized dealer.
CAUTION
Overheating may occur if the Anti-ventila-
tion Plate is at a level higher than the bot-
tom of the boat, as a result of a lack of
cooling water.
If the height difference exceeds 10~30mm
(0.4~1.2 in) engine power performance is
likely to be reduced as a result of
increased water resistance to the gear
case assembly.
Attaching the Clamp Bracket
After positioning the Clamp Bracket, fix it
with clamp screw then drill four holes in
the transom board, matching the holes in
the Clamp Bracket. Secure the engine with
the supplied bolts (M12 x 105mm) and
nuts. Be sure to use the washers. Use the
larger diameter washers inside of the tran-
som board and use the small diameter
washers outside of the clamp bracket.
The mounting holes may be drilled before-
hand by referring to the dimensional draw-
ing.
WARNING
Mounting the outboard motor without
following this manual can lead to unsafe
conditions such as poor maneuverabil-
ity, going out of control or fire disaster.
Loose clamp screws and/or mounting
bolts can lead to the release or displace-
ment of the outboard motor, possibly
resulting in lost of control and/or serious
personal injury. Be sure that fasteners
are tightened to the specified torque (30
Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft·lb). Check the fasteners
for tightness from time to time.
Be sure to use outboard mounting fas-
teners included in the outboard motor
package or their equivalents in terms of
size, material, quality and strength.
Tighten fasteners to the specified torque
(30 Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft·lb). Test cruise to
check
if
fasteners
securely.
Outboard motor mounting must be per-
formed by trained service person(s)
using lift or hoist with sufficient capacity.
