INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
Lifting the Outboard
Lifting Fixtures
Remove shipping carton.
The mounting hardware used to attach the out-
board to the pallet is reused to fasten outboard to
boat transom.
Use correct Lifting Fixture to lift outboard:
With recoil starter removed, Place lifting tool on
flywheel and seat the three screws completely.
Refer to RECOIL STARTER REMOVAL on
p. 311.
IMPORTANT: Use only the 1 1/8 in. (short)
screws, P/N 398067, included with the tool to
avoid damage to electronic components under the
flywheel.
Fasten appropriate chain hook to eye of tool.
Carefully hoist outboard with chain and unbolt out-
board mounting brackets from frame.
Steering Systems
Mechanical Cables
All Evinrude outboards equipped with tilt tubes are
designed to be compatible with mechanical steer-
ing systems that meet ABYC Standard P-17. Sin-
gle-cable mechanical steering systems can be
used on single or dual-outboard installations if an
ABYC-approved steering link is used.
Dual-cable mechanical steering helps provide firm
steering control at high speeds.
Extend the steering cable and lubricate the inner
core before installation.
IMPORTANT: Install steering cable through tilt
tube before mounting outboard on transom.
Tighten nut securely.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, make sure the lift-
ing capacity of the hoist is at least twice
the weight of the outboard.
DO NOT allow the lift hook or chain from
the hoist to come in contact with any part
of the engine during lifting.
