Outboard Mounting

Fastening the Outboard to the Transom
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
IMPORTANT:
outboard's warranty will not cover product dam-
age or failure resulting from incorrect outboard
installation.
004824
Even if equipped with clamp screws, the
outboard must be bolted to the boat to pre-
vent it from "working off the transom" dur-
ing operation.
Center the outboard on the boat's transom (or
mounting bracket) and tighten the clamp screws
by hand, NOT with tools. An accessory transom
plate is recommended to protect the boat's tran-
som (or mounting bracket).
If either side of the transom deforms or
cracks when the bolts are tightened to
3
their recommended torque, the transom
construction may not be adequate or may
4
be deteriorated. Structural failure of the
transom could result in loss of boat control
1
and injury to the occupants.
