TRANSOM HEIGHT . .
The proper transom (verttcal) height tor the Standard Length Model ts 14-1/2
to lS-1/2" The proper transom (vertical) hetght for the L~ng Shaft ~ode! is 19-
1/2 to 20-1/2". If the transom is too high. the propeller wtll operate 1~ turbulent
water with lowered effictency. Overheatmg may result. If the transom ts too low,
excess1
ve drag may result and your boat will not perform properly .
D
NOTE: We recommendusmg an accessory transom plate to protect your boat
and help prevent loss of motor See
your Dealer.
PROPELLER SELECTION
Your motor is equtpped with a propeller that will perform satisfactorily under
average condttions. However, since some boats have avarying speed potential, it may
be necessary to install a propeller having an increased or decreased blade pitch to
achieve maxtmum performance.
When operating yourmotor at full throttle undernormal load conditions the engine
RPM is the controlling factor 10 determining the correct propeller blade pitch foryour
rig.
To obtam peak performance. the engme RPM under these operating conditions
should
be tn the upper half of the FULL SPEED RPM OPERATING RANGE. (See
SPECIFICATIONS.) If the engine
RPM is on the low side of the recommended range,
install a propeller of reduced pitch and the engine
RPM will increase. If the engine
RPM ts above recommended RPM, install a propeller of an increased pitch to reduce
engine
RPM. See your DEALER.
It 1s suggested that a tachometer be uttlized to accurately check engine RPM . See
your DEALER. He will be pleased to assist you in obtaining maxtmum performance
from your boat and motor.
LiniNG AND CARRYING MOTOR
A handle. located at the balance
pomt of your motor, is a conventent
grip
to use for carrymg. To lift your
motor from boat or motor stand, use
the carrymg handle and lower motor
co11er at the rear. DO NOT use the tilt
gnp on the motor cover for lifting or
carrymg

STARTING AND OPERATION
COOLING SYSTEM
Water or cooling 1S supplied by a water pump located above the gearcase. The
pump op rates
as a diSplacement pump at low speeds and as a centnfugal pump at
h1gh speeds.The thermostat maintatns consistent operating temperatures through-
out the entire range
of motor operation. tncreasmg motor life and eftlc1ency.
~ NOTE: For contmuous operatiOn m waters contammg excessive amounts of
&:.....I :;nit, sand or stlt, we recommend an OMC accessory chrome plated water
pump J(lt. See your DEALER.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
Avoid operating in shallow waters. If necessary, proceed at slow speeds until
deeper water is reached.
The reverse lock is designed
to release automatically from the LOCK position
if an obstruct1on is hit wh1le going forward at normal running speeds. The reverse
lock may not release from the LOCK pos1tion when runnmg
at slow speed. When
running 1n shallow water, place the reverse lock in RELEASE position which
allows the motor to ''kick-up" more easily if an obstruction is hit. If an obstruction
is hit, retard the throttle immediately and stop motor. Check lower unit for
possible damage.
If motor vibrates excessively after striking an underwater obstruction, it may
ind1cate a damaged propeller. Operate at slow speed. Replace damaged propeller.
See PROPELLER AND DRIVE PIN REPLACEMENT.
D NOTE:
Operating motor with lower unit dragging on bottom will result in
propeller wear, and cause sand to be forced into water pump and may
cause damage to the pump.
FUEL ECONOMY
The economy throttle pos1tion can effect fuel savmgs depending on boat load
and hull
des1gn. When boat reaches top speed, slightly back off on throttle from
FULL SPEED position. This w1ll result in a fuel saving without noticeable loss in
speed .
OPERATING IN WEEDY WATER
Weeds on the propeller will cause motor to vibrate. Run at reduced speed
when weeds are thick. Stop motor, clear propeller and water intake completely of
weeds as often as necessary before resuming speed in clear water.
SALT WATER OPERATION
Your motor IS built for operation in either fresh or salt water. If motor is to re-
mam on boat during long periods of inoperation, tilt gearcase out of the water
(except during freezing temperatures). When removing motor from water, allow
cooling system
to drain thoroughly. by placing motor in upright position. Internal
flushing is unnecessary. We recomrT1'end that motor exterior be rinsed with fresh
water
and wiped off with a lightly oiled rag.
OPIRATINO IN FREEZING WEATHER
. In freezing temperatures. keep the lower unit submerged in the water at all
ttmes
Th1s will avoid freezing and possible damage to the water pump or other
parts
o_f the motor. When removing the motor from the water, keep the motor in
an upnght pOsition until water is completely drained from the cooling system.
ANTI..CORROSION PROTECTION
It is. importantespecially in salt water areas to protect the lower unit from galvanic
corros1on. Your dealer has accessory kits ava1lable which provide additional pro-
tection under adverse conditions

D NOTE:
DO NOT overtighten. as domg so wt/1 tncrease the pressure required
to
