Cutting Transom

Transom cutout can be made by either using the Template (shipped with transom assembly) or
the Quicksilver Transom Drilling Fixture Kit (purchased separately).
Follow instructions indicated on template or provided with drilling fixture.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that centerlines on either the template or transom drilling fixture
align with lines previously marked on transom.
If cutout is made incorrectly, drive unit steering lever may contact transom, thus limiting
steering travel.
IMPORTANT: Drill 1/4 in. (6 mm) pilot holes for hole saw guide at a 60 degree angle
and cut on the line when making transom cutout. Drive unit steering lever must not
contact transom, thus limiting steering travel.
IMPORTANT: Seal inside edge of transom cutout opening with a suitable sealant to
prevent water absorption and deterioration of transom.
