Installing the Engine
Center the motor on the boat’s transom and over
the transom plate if one is used. Tighten the clamp
screws BY HAND ONLY.
WARNING
•
After positioning the engine, use the stern brack-
ets as a template for location and size of holes to
drill in the transom.
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death or prop-
erty damage. We strongly recommend that
your DEALER install your outboard to
ensure proper installation.
•
The stern bracket has two holes on each side of
the engine. Drill only one hole on each side. Use
the upper holes unless your situation requires us-
ing the lower holes. Be sure to drill at right angles
to the transom.
•
•
Apply polysulfide sealant generously behind the
heads and to the shanks of the mounting bolts
before inserting them, and to the surfaces of
washers that contact the transom. Avoid RTV sil-
icone and polyurethane sealants as they can be
dissolved by gasoline.
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully. The
engine’s warranty will not cover product damage or
failure that results from incorrect engine installation.
Secure the engine with the mounting hardware.
WARNING
Even if equipped with clamp screws, your
engine must be bolted to the boat to prevent
it from “working off the transom” during
operation.
