Installation; Installing Outboard - Mercury 40 Manual

Installing Outboard

Failure to correctly fasten the outboard could result in the
outboard propelling off the boat transom resulting in property
damage, serious injury, or death. Before operation, the outboard
must be correctly installed with the required mounting hardware.
Do not accelerate above idle speed in water that may contain
underwater obstacles if the outboard is not attached to the
transom correctly.
We strongly recommend that your dealer install your outboard and
related accessories to ensure proper installation and good
performance. If you install the outboard yourself, follow instructions
in the outboard installation manual which is provided with the
outboard.
MODELS WITHOUT TRANSOM BRACKET CLAMP SCREWS
The outboard must be secured to the transom with the four
12.7 mm (1/2 in.) diameter mounting bolts and locknuts provided.
Install two bolts through the upper set of holes and two bolts
through the lower set of holes.
