8Overpowering a boat may 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 manu- facturer.
8The information presented in this sec- tion is intended as reference only. It is not possible to provide complete instructions for every possible boat/motor combination. Proper mounting depends in part on experi- ence and the specific boat/motor com- bination.

Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions such as poor handling, loss of con- trol, or fire hazards. Observe the follow- ing:
8For permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experi- enced in proper rigging should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be trained by an experienced person.
8For portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper out- board motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor.
