SAFETYCHAIN
.\ link is provided on the stern bracket (See Item 1, Figure 8,
Page 13) for fastening a chain from the motor to the boat.
Secure one end of the chain to the stern bracket and the
other to a structural support of the transom. The use of the
chain may prevent loss of the motor overboard. WE WILL
NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MOTOR DAMAGED
OR LOST OVERBOARD.
ANGTEADJUSTMENT
Put Reverse Lock in RELEASE position. The angle adjust-
mcnt (Figure 2) can be made in the following manner:
Lift up on Angle Adjustment Lever (Item 3, Figure 8,
Page 13) and move it ahead or back in the slots in the stern
]rracket so that motor is in a vertical position. As the load
rvill vary in your boat, always try to place it so the boat runs
on an even keel.
TRANSOMPTATE
Available from your dealer is a mounting plate that can be
installed on the transom of your boat. (See Figure 1). This
plate will prevent any damage to the transom that would be
!auscd by the stern bracket clamps. There are added safety
ieaturcs when this plate is used. When the motor is running
r,ncl the clamps work loose from the transom, a loud rattle
can be heard, warning the operator of the situation. AIso
a iip on the upper edge of the plate wili keep the motor from
lLlmping off the transom when this condition exists.

STEERIT{G
Although there are only two basic steering systems gen-
erally being used for outboard boats, the variations in the
method of installation are quite numerous. The newest
system used is commonly referred to as a t'push-pull
cable". Like the remote controls, after which it is pat-
terned, the main thing to check to insure easy steering i:j
that the cable has no sharp bends, is adequately anchored,
and that it is properly lubricated.
The most commonly used steering system is the type using
a cable and pulley, In this system, care in installation
cari result in an extremely smooth, safe steering unit' To
help you check or install a steering system properly, com-
plete information with drawings appears in the remote con-
trol instruction book fumished with each control unit. An
important item often overlooked is the lubrication of the
steering wheel and the pulleys in this steering system,
which will ease steering effort considerably as well as
elinrinate amoying squeaks.
In order to elin)inate backlash in your cable and pulley
steering system, it is advisable to insert a spring in the
system which will take care of dimensional changes in
your boat due to moisture or dryness. 'fhe spring should
be attached at the point where the steering cable end is
normally attached to the transom. This will allow your
boat to shrink or swell and still keep your steering cables
A - Uncompressed spring length
B - Total comPressed length
C - Approximate 2/3 tolal compressed
length for single engine - 3/4 fot
twin ef,gines
D - This spring length will give You
corect cable tension
tight. Use a 60 lb. spring for this purpose and tighten the
steering cable so that the spring is compressed to two-
thirds of its total compressed length. This will put a
40 lb, load on the cable which is ample for a single engine
installation. For twin engines' the spring load should be
doubled but only one spring should be used. In other
words, use a 100 lb' spring and compress to about three-
quarters of compressed length for about a 75 - 80 lb' load
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
L. Use only ONE spring in any installation. -fwo springs
can pemit hazardous fishtailing at high speed'
2. Do not use the spring to compensate for improper
pulley or cable anchor positioning'
3. Always use through bolts for attaching cable anchors
and pulleys. Wood screws can pull loose under high
load.

REIIOTE
CONTROTS
Properly installed and maintained remote controls will pro_
vide you with smoothly operating throttle and gearshift
levers that will add to your boating pleasure, Care in se-
lecting correct cable lengths will give you free flowing
curves. Avoid sharp bends which may cause cables to
bind. Remote control cables should be anchored to the
boat to maintain neat appearance and minimum backlash.
The control head should be lubricated when assembled and
linkage at the motor should be lubricated and checked for
freedom of movement, Periodic lubrication should be per-
formed to insure continued control freedom. Check motor
through its steering Rrc to be sure cables will not catch on
any projection. Complete installation instructions are fur-
nished with each control unit and your dealer is alwavs
feady to give you assistance.
PROPETI.ER
SEIECTIO]I
Your motor is equipped with a propeller that will perform
satisfactorily under average conditions. tlowever, since
some boats do have a speed potential which is quite high
or low, it may be necessary to install a propeller having an
increased or decreased blade pitch to achieve maxln)um
Performance.
When operatin€i your motor at full throttle under normal load
conditions, the engine IIPM and boat speerl are the two
controlling factors in determining the correct propeller
blade pitch for your rig. To obtain peak performance the
engine RPM under these operating conditions should be in
the upper half of the ITULL, SPI,)IID RpM OPERATING
RANGE. (See Motor Specifications.) If the engine RpM is
on the low sicle of the recommended range install a pro-
peller of reduced pitch and the engine RpM will increase.
If the engine RPM is on the high side of the recommended
range install a propeller of an increased pitch to reduce
engine RPM.
It is suggested that a tachometer and speedometer be uti-
lizecl to accurately check engine RpM and boat speed.
SEII, YOUR DEALtrR. IIe will be pleased to assist you in
obtaining maximum performance from your boat and motor.

GEAR
TUBRICATION
Your gearcase has been filled at the factory with "OMC
TYPE B LUBRICANT''.
CAUTION: When adding to, or refilling gearcase, you should
use "OMC TYPE B LUBRICANT" which has been formulated
to protect against damage to bearings and gears. Improper
lubrication of bearings and gears can result in extensive dam-
age. This lubricant is availabie at your Dealer.
When a complete change of lubricant is required, place motor
in vertical position and remove the lower plug and gasket,
marked "OIL DRAIN" on the bottom of qearcase. Then
rcmove the upper plug and {asket, marked-"OIL LEVEL".
Permit oil to drain comolele
:r.
We recommend adding io or'relilling gearcase as follows.
Placc a tube of OMC tvDe B lubricant as illustrated and fill
gearcase through lower^ hole marked "OIL DRAIN" until
lubricant appears at upper hole marked "OIL LEVEL". Re-
piace upper plug and gasket securely before removing the
tube from the iower hole. This will create an air lock and
hold the oil in gearcase until lowef plug and gasket can be
secured.

BREAK.IN
Reasonable care in the operation of the
motor during the first several hours of use
will improve its petformance and insure longer
life. Follow the fuel and lubrication instruc-
tions carefully. After operating motor at part
throttle for about one hour, it is permissible
to run at full throttle for a few seconds fol-
lowed by a few minutes of part throttle opera-
tion. Repeat frequently, gradually increasi.ng
the time of full throttle operation for another
two hours. No special or extra oil is required
for the break-in period.
REVERSE LOCK
Your motor will tilt automatically when the
lower unit strikes an underwater object' This
is made possible through the reverse lock.
(See Figure 8, Page 13.) The reverse lock
has two positions - LOCK and RELtrASFI.
RELEASE POSITION
In RELEASE position, the motor can be manually tilted to
any position desired for beaching or other purposes'
LOCK POSITION
In LOCK position, the motor is held in a semi-locked verti-
cal position, The lock will maintain the motor in a vertical
position while pulling the manual starter handle. In reverse
gear the lock prevents the reverse thrust of the propeller
from pulling the lower unit from the water' In forward gear,
the lock will release upon sudden contact of the lower unit
with an underwater object and allow the motor to tilt up.
The bumper under the revetse lock prevents transom damage.
After passing over the obstruction, the lower unit wilI return
to the vertical position and reset the lock. OPtrRATE YOUR
MOTOR \\'ITH THtr RE,VtrRSE LOCK IN LOCK POSITION.
IN SHALLOW OR OBSTRUCTED WATER, PUT LOCK IN
RIILIlASE, POSITION.
When
manually tilting the notor, it is possible to lock it in a
full tilt posi.tion. If this is desired, push in on Tilt Lock.
