g. ADJUSTMENT
• HOOK BRACKET
1) Install the engine cover on the outboard motor and lock it
securely.
2) Measure the clearance between the engine cover and the
L./R. engine under covers.
• Measure the clearance at the three points, i.e. at the front
and at the rear right and left sides.
3) Check that the measurement is within 17.5 – 18.5 mm (0.69
– 0.73 in) at each point.
4) If the measurement is out of the specification, adjust the
clearance.
5) To adjust, remove the engine cover and set a wrench or
equivalent tool in the cutout in the tapered part of the cover
lock bolt. Loosen the 6 mm hex. nut of the hook bracket
assembly.
6) After assembly, loosely tighten the 6 mm hex. nut.
7) Install the engine cover on the outboard motor and lock it
securely. Measure the clearance between the engine cover
and the L./R. engine under covers again.
If the clearance is out of the specification, repeat step 5.
If the clearance is within the specification, remove the
engine cover and tighten the 6 mm hex. nut securely.
8) Install the engine cover (P. 4-2).
