It is your responsibility to choose a 
boat suitable for the engine (9.9

manufacturer’s power recommen- 
dation. Damage and injury may 
result. 
1. Installation Position 
Install at the stern at the center line 
of the boat. 
2. Installation Height 
Make sure that the transom height 
is correct for the motor. Incorrect 
installation height will reduce per- 
formance.

that the anti-cavitation plate is 2-5 
cm (0.8-2.0 in) below the bottom 
of the boat. 
CAUTION: The water level must be 
at least 4 inches above the anticavita- 
tion plate, otherwise the water pump 
may not receive sufficient cooling 
water, and the engine will overheat. 
3. Motor Attachment 
Attach the stern bracket to the 
transom and tighten the clamp 
screws. 
CAUTION: -. 
While operating the boat, check 
the tightness of the clamp screws 
occasionally. 
Tie a rope through the hole in 
the stern bracket and secure the 
other end of the rope to the 
boat. This will orevent accidental  t
