Propeller Selection

The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, as
an incorrect choice could adversely affect performance. The outboard motor is fitted with propeller
chosen to perform well over a range of applications, but there may be uses where a propeller with a
different pitch would be more appropriate. “PARSUN” dealers stock a range of propellers and can
advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your application.

For a greater boat load and a low engine speed, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable.
Conversely, a large-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load as it enables the
correct engine speed to be maintained.

Operation and

Installation

Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or

which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer.

NOTE:

During water testing, check the buoyancy of the boat when at rest with its maximum load.
Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry
into the power head, or when water rises due to waves, or when the outboard is not running.

WARNING:

 Overpowering a boat could 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 manufacturer.

 Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in dangerous conditions and injury.

For permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper
rigging should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be
trained by an experienced person. For portable models, your dealer or other person
experienced in proper outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your
motor.

 The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting

depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.

Mounting Height

0～ 25mm
(0-1in)

The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the
mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting
height is too low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the
outboard motor so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm
below it.

NOTE:

The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the
optimum mounting height. For further information, consult your “PARSUN” dealer or boat
manufacturer.

Clamping the Outboard Motor

1.

Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws
for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine
vibration.

WARNING:

 Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom.

This could cause loss of control. Make sure the clamp screws are tightened securely.
Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.

1. If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped on your engine, an engine restraint cable or

chain should be used. Attach to a secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the engine being
completely lost if it accidentally falls off the transom.
