Maximum Capacity
Before installing outboard:
• Refer to the boat manufacturer's certification
label for maximum horsepower rating.
• Refer to ABYC Standards to determine the
maximum horsepower capacity for boats with-
out certification labeling.
Mounting Surface
Inspect transom surface before drilling mounting
holes.
• The transom should meet ABYC Standards.
• The transom must be flat.
• The transom angle should be approximately 14
degrees.
• Check transom strength and height.
The stern brackets must contact the flat surface of
the transom. Modify trim that prevents the stern
brackets from resting against the transom surface.
Do not modify stern brackets.
