U68T14.book Page 3 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU01298 Mounting Height To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the water-resistance (drag) of the boat and outboard motor must be made as little as possible. The mounting-height of the outboard motor greatly affects the water-resistance. If the mounting-height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion; and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine speed will rise abnormally and cause the engine to overheat.
U68T14.book Page 4 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU01318¯ CLAMPING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR 1) Place the outboard on the transom so that it is positioned as close to the center as possible. Tighten the transom clamp screws evenly and securely. Check the clamp-screws for tightness occasionally during operation of the motor as they can work loose due to engine vibration. WARNING @ Loose clamp screws could allow the motor to move on the transom or fall off the transom.
U68T14.book Page 5 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU00224 BREAKING IN (RUNNING IN) ENGINE Your new engine requires a period of breakin (running-in) to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear-in evenly. Correct break-in (running-in) will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life. CAUTION: @ Failure to follow the break-in (running-in) procedure may result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage.
U68T14.book Page 6 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU00204 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS WARNING @ If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the outboard motor.

U68T14.book Page 19 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU01412 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine. The correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
U68T14.book Page 20 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU00951 Manual tilt model There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle. 1) Stop the engine. 2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod 1 from the clamp bracket while tilting the motor up slightly. 3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole. To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod away from the transom. To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod toward the transom.
U68T14.book Page 21 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU01414 Power Tilt Model WARNING @ ● ● ● Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and clamp bracket. Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.
U68T14.book Page 22 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E 2) Tilt the engine to the desired angle using the power tilt switch. NOTE: Stay within the trim operating angle when trimming the outboard motor using the power tilt system. @ @ To raise the bow (“trim-out”), tilt the engine up. To lower the bow (“trim-in”), tilt the engine down. Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to find the position that works best for your boat and operating conditions.
U68T14.book Page 23 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU01558 Bow Up When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. When trimmed out, the boat may have more tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help offset this effect. Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water.
U68T14.book Page 24 Monday, April 1, 2002 4:32 PM E EMU00285 TILTING UP/DOWN If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion. CAUTION: @ ● ● Before tilting the motor, follow the procedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”. Never tilt the motor while the engine is running. Severe damage from overheating can result.
