OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
Mercury Marine Validated Engine Mounting
Hardware
IMPORTANT: Mercury Marine provides validated fasteners and
installation instructions, including torque specifications, with all of
our outboards so they can be properly secured to boat transoms.
Improper installation of the outboard can cause performance and
reliability issues that can lead to safety concerns. Follow all of
the instructions relating to the outboard installation. DO NOT
mount any other accessory onto the boat with the fasteners
provided with the outboard. For example, do not mount a tow
sport bars or boarding ladders onto the boat using the mounting
hardware included with the outboard. Installing other products
onto the boat that utilize the outboard mounting hardware will
compromise the ability of that hardware to properly and safely
secure the outboard to the transom.
Outboards that require validated mounting hardware will have
the following decal on the transom clamp.
