Bolt your engine to the boat’s transom using the
mounting hardware provided.
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 using 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 be-
fore inserting them and to the surfaces of washers
that contact the transom. Avoid RTV silicone and
polyurethane sealants as they can be dissolved by
gasoline.

Secure the engine with the mounting hardware.
After 30 minutes of operation, retighten clamp
screws by hand. DO NOT use tools to tighten clamp
screws. Check clamp screws regularly.
Connect a safety line between the engine retention
lug and a secure place on the boat. If the engine
should come off the transom during operation, a
strong safety line will keep it from being lost.

After positioning the engine, use the stern brackets

alent strength and material.
