MOTOR SELECTION

• For secure and safe sailing, install the outboard
motor on the transom of the boat properly.
Improperly installed outboard motor will result in
the displaced outboard motor, lack of speed and
stability, and poor fuel economy. In addition, the
boat does not drive straight unless the outboard
motor is installed properly.
• Install the outboard motor that conforms to the boat
manufacturer's recommended horsepower.
Never install an outboard motor which exceeds the
recommended maximum horsepower of the boat.
