Mounting
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.
