INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
OUTBOARD MOUNTING
Lifting the Outboard
Lift the outboard using the lift grips (NOT the tilt
grip or steering handle) and place it in the center
of the boat’s transom.
Before Mounting Outboard to Transom
Some rigging components that attach directly to
the outboard should be assembled before the out-
board is mounted to the boat's transom. Steering
system components and gearcase speedometer
pickup hoses are the most common. Determine
what equipment will be installed prior to mounting
the outboard to the transom or bracket.
OUTBOARD MOUNTING
Fastening the Outboard to the Transom
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully.
The outboard’s warranty will not cover product
damage or failure resulting from incorrect out-
board installation.
Center the outboard on the boat’s transom (or
mounting bracket) and tighten the clamp screws
by hand, NOT with tools. An accessory transom
plate is recommended to protect the boat’s tran-
som (or mounting bracket).

WARNING
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
WARNING
Even if equipped with clamp screws, the
outboard must be bolted to the boat to pre-
vent it from “working off the transom” dur-
ing operation.
