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 power head, when water rises due to waves
when the outboard is not running.
WARNING:
Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with
more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat
does not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in dangerous conditions and injury.
