Specification table in this manual or the manufacturer's plate on
the boat for the maximum outboard horsepower and outboard

WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit
of a boat can: 1) cause loss of boat control 2) place too much
weight at the transom altering the designed flotation
characteristics of the boat or 3) cause the boat to break apart
particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can
result in serious injury, death or boat damage.
