INSTALLING THE ENGINE
Center the engine on the boat’s transom (or mount-
ing bracket) and tighten the clamp screws by hand,
NOT with tools. See your Dealer for an accessory
transom plate to protect the boat’s transom.
1. Clamp screws
2. Accessory transom plate
Bolt your engine to the boat’s transom using 12 mm
bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts.
After positioning the engine, use the stern brackets
as a template for location and size of holes to drill in
the transom.
Drill two holes of the proper size through the tran-
som. Be sure to drill holes at right angles to the tran-
som.
Apply a good waterproof caulk generously behind
the heads and to the shanks of the mounting bolts
before inserting them and to the surfaces of wash-
ers that contact the transom. Avoid RTV silicone
and polyurethane sealants as they can be dis-
solved by gasoline.
Secure the engine with the mounting hardware po-
sitioned as shown.
After 30 minutes of operation, retighten clamp
screws by hand. DO NOT use tools to tighten clamp
screws. Check clamp screws regularly.
