3. To prevent loss of outboard overboard, fasten outboard by drilling two 7.9 mm (5/16 in.) holes through
the transom using transom clamp holes as a template. Fasten with two bolts, flat washers and locknuts.
Use a marine waterproofing sealer in holes and around bolts to make the installation water tight.
