INSTALLATION

INSTALLING OUTBOARD
WARNING
Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the re-
quired mounting hardware as shown. Failure to correctly fasten outboard
could result in outboard ejecting off boat transom causing serious injury,
death, or property damage.
We strongly recommend that your dealer install your outboard and related
accessories to ensure proper installation and good performance. If you install the
outboard yourself, follow instructions in the outboard installation manual which is
provided with the outboard.
Models Without Transom Bracket Clamp Screws
1 The outboard must be secured to the transom with the four 1/2 inch diameter
mounting bolts and locknuts (provided). Install two bolts thru the upper set of
holes and two bolts thru the lower set of holes.
Models With Transom Bracket Clamp Screws
2 The outboard must be secured to the transom one of two ways: EITHER with
clamp screws (a) and two mounting bolts and locknuts (b) provided, OR with
clamp screws (a) and optional Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Outboard
Mounting Kit No. 812432A5 (c). Tighten retainer screws (d) into the lower
mounting holes when using outboard mounting kit.

PROPELLER SELECTION
For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a
propeller that allows the engine to operate in the upper half of the recommended
full throttle RPM range with the boat normally loaded (refer to Specifications). This
RPM range allows for better acceleration while maintaining maximum boat speed.
If changing conditions cause the RPM to drop below the recommended range
(such as warmer, more humid weather, operation at higher elevations, increased
boat load, or a dirty boat bottom/gear case), a propeller change or cleaning may
be required to maintain performance and ensure the outboards durability.
Check full-throttle RPM, using an accurate tachometer, with the engine trimmed
out to a balanced-steering condition (steering effort equal in both directions)
without causing the propeller to “break loose.”

TRAILERING BOAT/OUTBOARD –TILLER HANDLE
MODELS AND REMOTE CONTROL MODELS WITH
POWER TRIM
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down (vertical operating position).
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up using
an accessory outboard support device. Refer to your local dealer for
recommendations. Additional clearance may be required for railroad crossings,
driveways and trailer bouncing.
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt support pin to
maintain proper ground clearance for trailering. The outboard tilt support
pin is not intended to support the outboard for trailering.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
