INSTAIIATIO}I
OI{
BOAT
ATTACHING
MOTOR
TO
BOAT
This motor ts designed for uge on a
standard 15-inch transom. If transom is
higher, it shouldbe cut downto 15 inches
so propeller will be at least 2 inches be-
low bottom of boat. Best performalrce
wiII be obtained by havingthe driveshaft
vertical to boat travel and the propeller
placed below bottom of the boat (see Fig-
ure 2). Performance can often be im-
proved by cutting off the keel at a 10'
angle as illustrated. This will prevent
formation of spray and
provide free run-
ning performance,
Place motor on stern of boat with stern
bracket clamps inside the stern, centered
on the transom or stern board. Tighten
bracket clamp screws securely by hand.
CAUTION
When motor is running, occasion-
ally check bracket clamp screws
to be sure they are tight. We will
not be responsible for any motor
damaged
or lost overboard
due
to
Ioose
clamp screrrs,

Boot
The use of a safety chain or ropeattached
to motor stern bracket safety chain link
(item 1, Figure 12) and boat will guard
against loss of motor overboard. Holes
are provided in clamp screw handles
through which a padlock may be appliedto
lock the motor on the boat.
AUXILIARYFUELSYSTEMS
If your motor is to be used in a cruiser
or large runabout, you may desire to in-
stall a built-in fuel tank of larger capac-
ity than the fuel tank furnished with the
motor. A heavy duty type fuel filter is
recommended for such installation. See
your dealer for further information. He
can give you helpfui hints which may save
time andmoney.

STARTING
INSTATLATION
Your electric starting motor includes all
the electrical equipment required for
complete installation except the battery,
which can be purchased through local
sources. A 12-volt, 11-plate,60 ampere
hour capacity battery with a cold starting
rate of 5.5 minutes, at 150 ampere dis-
charge at 0o Fahrenheit, and a 5 second
voltage rating of9.1volts is recommended.
Leads from the switch panel andthe pos-
itive battery lead (red) are attachedtothe
junction box when purchased to simplify
assembly during installation. Necessary
tools for installation arc a 5/8-inch and
13/16-inch bit, screwdriver, and.an ad-
justable wrench.

BATTERY
Install battery nearjunctionbox. Various
posslble locations are shown
in Figure 6.
Use a frame securely fastenedto the boat
for mountingthe battery. (See
Figure 5.)
A loose battery can shift in the boat,
damagingitself or other equipment. Con-
nect positive battery lead (red) from
junction box to positive (+) battery ter-
mlnal. Install battery connector to bat-
tery terminal andtighten the bolt.

Mount motor on transom. Connect free
ends of cable from motor to junction box

Connect the two black shorting switch
wires of magnetoto the small blackwires

ASSEMBLY
For installation on your boat dash board
panel, drill one 5/8-inch hole for the
choke switch andone 13/16-inchhole
for
the starter switch, with centers l-L/2-
inches apart in position selected for in-
stallation, preferably near the steering
wheel. These measurements must be ad-
hered to closely, to insure proper fit.
Remove choke button cover and knurled
nuts holding switches at front of switch

BATTERY
CARE
If the battery has been standingfor g0
daye, lt ehouldbe recharged
to gtvebest
regults. The speclfic gravity should
never be allowed to go below1.200,at
whlch time it shouldbe recharged
to the
speclfic gravlty as recommended
by the
battery nanufacturer. Contact
manufac-
turer or dealer for lnformatlonon bat-
tery care. Useabatterycharger
with an
output of between
3 and 4 amperes, but
notto exceed
4 amperes
whenchargingis
started. A charger of this capacity
will
futly cl::rge a good battery overntght.
Checktlte speclfic gravity of the battery
hydrometer
that hasabuilt-tn tlrermom-
eter andhasa correctlon chart attached.
Thecharge
conditlonof the batteryshould
not be determined by any other method.
The proper water level shouldbemain-
tained at all times. The plates should
be covered
with one-quarterto one-half
lnch of water. If wateris added
ln free-
zlng
weather,
thebatteryshouldbecharg-
edto fuII chargeat once.
The battery shouldbe kept clean at all
tlmes, particularly thetopofthebattery.

L
ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
A simple meansis provlded for adjusting
the motor to a vertical position to make
allowance for angle of the transom.
To accomplish this adjustment, tilt the
motor slightly (titt-up lock, ltem 6, Fig-
qre 12, must be in lower or "release"
position), then lift up on angle adjustment
Iever (seeltem 3, Figure 12) andmove it
alead or back in the slots ln the stern
bracket so that motor is in vertical po-
sltion whenlower unit restsagainstlever.
On eome boats it may be necessary to
correct angle adjustment to maintain mo-
tor in a vertical position when changing
Ioad from one to more passengers.
