motor greatly affects the water resistance. If
the mounting height is too high, cavitation
tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion;
and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine
speed will rise abnormally and cause the en-
gine to overheat. 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 in alignment with the bottom of the
boat.

NOTE:
●
The optimum mounting height of the out-
board motor is affected by the boat/motor
combination and the desired use. Test
runs at different heights can help deter-
mine the optimum mounting height. Con-
sult your Yamaha dealer or boat
manufacturer for further information on de-
termining the proper mounting height.

Breaking in engine
Your new engine requires a period of break-
in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
life.
CAUTION:
ECM00800
Failure to follow the break-in procedure
could result in reduced engine life or
could result in reduced engine life or
even severe engine damage.
