Procedure
Mounting the outboard motor on boat
1. Verify the boat's certification plate for maximum allowable horsepower; do not equip the boat with an outboard motor exceeding this limit. WARNING: Mounting an outboard motor that exceeds the boat's rated horsepower can lead to unsafe conditions. 2. Keep the outboard motor in a vertical position when mounting. Outboard motor mounting must be performed by trained service person(s) using a lift or hoist with sufficient capacity. WARNING: Mounting without following this manual can lead to poor maneuverability, lack of control, or fire. 3. Position the outboard motor above the keel line and set the engine at the center of the boat transom. 4. Ensure the anti-ventilation plate is 5–25 mm (0.2–1 in) below the bottom of the hull. If this condition cannot be met due to hull shape, consult an authorized dealer. 5. Tighten all clamp screws and/or mounting bolts to the specified torque. (torque: 30 Nm) WARNING: Loose clamp screws and/or mounting bolts can lead to release or displacement of the outboard motor, possibly resulting in loss of control and/or serious personal injury. 6. Perform a test cruise to verify that all fasteners are tightened securely. Check fasteners for tightness periodically. WARNING: Use only outboard mounting fasteners included in the outboard motor package or equivalents of the same size, material, quality, and strength. Tools: lift or hoist with sufficient capacity
