Installing The Outboard - Evinrude E15D Operator's Manual

INSTALLING THE OUTBOARD

A WARNING
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death or
property damage. We strongly recom-
mend that your Dealer install your out-
board to ensure proper installation.
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully.
The outboard's warranty will not cover prod-
uct damage or failure that results from incor-
rect outboard installation.
Refer to Priming the Oil System on page 20.
Mounting DH, DR, DRL, HP and HT
Models
A WARNING
Even if equipped with clamp screws,
your outboard must be bolted to the boat
to prevent it from "working off the tran-
som" during operation.
Center the outboard on the transom (or
mounting bracket) and tighten clamp screws
by hand.
Use the outboard stern brackets as a tem-
plate for location and size of holes to drill in
the transom.
Use each stern bracket's mounting holes as a
guide to drill 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) holes through
the transom. Drill two (2) mounting holes on
25 / 30 HP models and (4) mounting holes on
15 H O models
