The weight of an engine affects the boats per-
formance, and stability, particularly during the
phase of moving from displacement to pla-
ning mode. When choosing between engines
of equal power, we recommend opting for the
lighter one.
WARNING: Never exceed the max. per-
missible engine weight!
Shaft length
Standard shaft engine (S).
Engine Height
Engine dimensions vary between different
makes of similar shaft types by a few cm of
shaft length. You should be able to compen-
sate such by means of a spacer piece, (i.e. a
piece of wood ...).
ATTENTION: When the engine position is
too high, the prop may pop out of the wa-
ter, rev in the air and loose forward pro-
pulsion. If positioned too deep, the boat
may loose speed and become difficult to
steer.
Engine-mounting
Fit the engine precisely in centre position of
the transom panel. Fasten the engines clamp-
screws by hand, as tight as possible, and se-
cure the engine to the boat by means of a
chain or recovery-line.

ATTENTION: Recheck firm clamp-screw
holding after 15 minutes of engine ope-
ration.
Fuel-tank
If you carry a remote fuel tank, place it (on an
old rug, blanket, plastic sheet or similar) on
the floor of your boat, thus avoiding damage
to the boat skin by spillage of fuel. Secure the
tank to the boat against being lost overboard
by means of a chain, recovery-line or strap.
ATTENTION: protect the boat skin of
your boat against fuel and oil contact!
Engine fuel and oil dissolves the rubber
-layer and may damage the boat skin. If
in spite of care fuel is spilled onto the
boat skin, rinse thoroughly with water.
WARNING: Do not smoke or use open
fire near fuel tanks!
RISk OF EXplOSION!
Engine trim
Engine setting (trim) should be arranged rela-
tive to, and to suit, under way conditions. The
engine should be aligned whereby the prop-
shaft is appointed horizontally level, parallel
to the water surface.
Individual alignment and change of angle set-
ting May never the less improve trim. Read
the instructions supplied with your engine.
WARNING: Adjustments to the engine
must not be made whilst the engine is
run-ning!
load distribution
The boat should be loaded in a manner, whe-
re length- and lateral level is well bal-anced.
Well spread and balanced load only guaran-
tees optimised movement through the water.
Therefore endeavour to spread loads evenly.
