Installing Outboard - Mercury 200 OptiMax DTS 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.
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.
