MOTOR MOUNTING

Excessive horsepower will have an adverse
effect on hull safety and may cause operating/
handling difficulties. The boat may also sus-
tain stress and hull damage.
Never install an outboard motor with horse-
power exceeding the manufacturer's recom-
mended maximum horsepower listed on the
boat's "Certification Plate". Contact your
authorized Suzuki marine dealer if you are
unable to locate the hull "Certificate Plate".
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have
your outboard motor, controls and gauges
installed by an authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer. He has the tools, the facilities and the
know-how.
