SAFETYRO PE CLAMPSCREW S
Attach the stern bracket to the boat
transom by tightening the clamp
screws.
Attacha rope f rom the boat to the
hole in the stern bracket. This will
help to prevent accidental loss of the
outboardmotor.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat typeand bottom shape.
Contactthe boat manuf acturerf or
any special recommendations that are
unique to a specific model of boat.
If the transom needs to be modified
to accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.
When the outboard motor is installed
extremely low, water may enter into
the engineunder case and negatively
affect the performance and durab ility.
When installing, check that the
outboardmotor is high enough f rom
the water level to keep the engine
under casef rom waves,splash, etc.
when theengine is stopped with the
boat fully loaded.
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boatwill squat and be hard
to plane,and the outboard motor will
spray water that may enter the boat. It
will tendto porpoise, and high-speed
stability will be reduced.
Propeller ventilation will occur if the
outboardmotor is installed too high
on the boat transom.
