12. Bolt the engine to the transom as described below.
Looking from the rear of the engine, notice that the transom clamp has two
horizontal rows of holes. Either the two upper or two lower holes need to be used
to secure the engine to the transom. Four holes are provided to accommodate
various transom designs.
Using a 3/8” drill bit, drill through the lowest hole pattern on the bracket which
would allow the bolts to pass through a structural cross-member of the transom.
Install the two supplied 3/8”x3” bolts, washers and nylon insert nuts. For Go-
Devil boats, the engine should be bolted to the transom using the two top holes.
13. Tie a rope to the rib in your boat under the hand grip
of the Surface Drive and put a loop in the rope. Slip
the loop over the handle to hold the engine in a
neutral position while the handle is in its lowest
position. The rope should be short enough so that
the engine can idle with the prop out of the water. If
the handle is used often in a higher fixed position,
it may be necessary to attach an additional longer
rope along side the initial one or use a rope long
enough so that it can be tied securely at various lengths.
ATTENTION: The Go-Devil Surface Drive engine
MUST BE BOLTED TO THE TRANSOM! ! ! ! !
Failing to do so will cause the transom clamp to
loosen while trailering, allowing the engine to
possibly fall off of the transom!!!!
BOLTS MUST PASS THROUGH A STRUCTURAL
CROSS-MEMBER OF THE TRANSOM!!!
(channel, tube, rib, etc.)
