Installation
The information presented in this section is
intended as reference only. It is not possible
to provide complete instructions for every
possible boat and motor combination. Proper
mounting depends in part on experience and
the specific boat and motor combination.

 Overpowering a boat could cause se-
vere instability. Do not install an out-
board motor with more horsepower
than the maximum rating on the capaci-
ty plate of the boat. If the boat does not
have a capacity plate, consult the boat
manufacturer.
 Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result in hazardous conditions
such as poor handling, loss of control,
or fire hazards. For permanently mount-
ed models, your dealer or other person
experienced in proper rigging should
mount the motor.

Mounting the outboard motor

ECM01681
Do not hold the top cowling when mount-
ing or dismounting the outboard motor.
The top cowling could come off, causing
the outboard motor to fall.
(1) Be sure to mount the outboard motor
while the boat is on land. If the boat is on
the water, move it to an area on land.
(2) To prevent steering movement, turn the
adjuster lever to "A" (if equipped with the
adjuster lever). To hold the steering
bracket easily, raise the tiller handle to
the vertical position (if equipped with the
tiller handle).

(3) Hold the handgrip and steering bracket
