Transom Drilling Locations - Evinrude E-TEC E40DRLSCB Service Manual

For dual-outboard installations, transom height
should be measured at the outboard centerlines.
Use a straightedge as a reference to extend the
bottom of the boat.
Position the straightedge along centerline. The
distance from the top edge of the straightedge to
the top edge of the transom is the actual transom
height.

Transom Drilling Locations

All models use the standard ABYC 4-Bolt mount-
ing pattern.
Transom drill fixture, P/N 434367 or P/N 385368,
may be used as a guide for correct hole place-
ment. If drill fixture is unavailable, refer to Drilling
and Hardware Diagrams on p. 42 for measure-
ments.
Position drill fixture on top of transom or bracket
and align indicator points with centerline.
Transom drill fixture P/N 434367 (heavy duty)
The indicators are affected by the squareness of
the top edge of the transom. If either side of the
fixture must be raised more than ¼ in. (6 mm)
above the transom's top surface to make both
indicators align, the transom must be modified.
IMPORTANT:
edge of the transom is straight. Position the drill
fixture based on measurements aligning it to the
bottom of the hull.
IMPORTANT:

of transom surface above the top mounting bolts.
Before drilling any mounting holes:
•
Make sure the hole locations provide enough
clearance for mounting bolts and washers.
2
•
Check the inside area of the transom for
obstructions.
•
Check transom height(s) at centerlines.
Drill four ½ in. (13 mm) mounting holes in the
DR5541
appropriate locations.
IMPORTANT:
perpendicular to transom surface.
M
ANUAL
Center the outboard on the transom (or mounting
bracket) and tighten clamp screws by hand.
Use each stern bracket's mounting holes as a
guide to drill holes through the transom.
•
40–65 HP models require four 11/32 in. (8.7
mm) holes.
