Identification / Features and benefits Features and benefits Power unit Based on the power unit of the field-proven F50, newly designed parts have been adopted in the various areas to attain 60 horsepower. The newly designed parts include the intake valves, exhaust valves, cylinder head, pistons, and the intake silencer.
INFO General information Oil pump The size of the oil pump rotor has been enlarged to increase the oil discharge volume. As a result, reliable lubrication has been realized. 22 mm (0.87 in) 24 mm (0.94 in) S69W1210 1 Rotor 2 Embossed letters for identification Oil discharge volume 21.5 L (5.68 US gal, 0.22 Imp gal)/min...

Features and benefits Although the main jet specification numbers of the F50 differed between cylinders, the F60 uses main jets with the same specification number for all four cylinders due to the change in shape of the intake silencer. S69W1230 È...
INFO General information Lower unit Drive shaft The drive shaft has been machined to accommodate the high power output. The portion that mounts to the pinion gear has been machined with involute splines to increase durability. A section of the midspan of the drive shaft has been reduced to 14.4 mm (0.57 in) to prevent the drive shaft from breaking under impact loads.
Page 15
Features and benefits Forward gear bearing The size of the forward gear bearing has been increased to accommodate the high power output of the F60. With this increase, the coupling length of the forward gear has been extended as well. In addition, two grooves are provided on the forward gear for identification purposes.
Features and benefits Steering friction The F60 tiller handle models use a newly developed, compact steering friction. S69W1280 1 Steering friction Electrical unit Starter motor The starter motor uses six magnets and four brushes to enhance its operating torque. S69W1290 1 Bearing 5 Magnet 2 Starter relay...
INFO General information Technical tips Carburetor Power nozzle The power nozzle is activated when the engine is operating at high speeds. To reduce the fuel con- sumption rate and the pollution of the exhaust gases, the carburetors of the F60 are set lean. There- fore, the air-fuel mixture becomes lean at high engine speeds, when greater output is needed.
Technical tips PTT (Power Trim and Tilt) unit Shuttle piston A ball type shut-off construction is used for both the up-shuttle and down-shuttle pistons. The ball type realizes a reliable shut-off operation and high shut-off pressure. S69W1310 1 Ball 69W3D1X...

Propeller selection / Predelivery checks Predelivery checks Checking the engine oil 1. Check the oil level. To make the delivery process smooth and efficient, the predelivery checks should be completed as explained below. Checking the fuel system 1. Check that the fuel hoses are securely connected and that the fuel tank is full with fuel.
INFO General information S69W1110 NOTE: CAUTION: The optimum mounting height is affected by The shift/throttle cable joint must be the combination of the boat and the outboard screwed in a minimum of 8.0 mm (0.31 in) motor. To determine the optimum mounting height, test run the outboard motor at differ- ent heights.
Predelivery checks Checking the gearshift and throttle Checking the engine start switch and operation engine stop switch/engine shut-off 1. Check that gearshift operates switch smoothly when the remote control lever 1. Check that the engine starts when the or shift lever is shifted from neutral into engine start switch is turned to START.
INFO General information Checking the cooling watger pilot hole 1. Start the engine, and then check that cooling water is discharged from the cooling water pilot hole. S69W1190 È Hour After test run 1. Check for water in the gear oil. 2.
