Securing Outboard to Boat Transom
(Electric Start Models)
IMPORTANT: If boat is equipped with thru tilt tube
steering, steering cable end must be installed into tilt
tube of outboard before securing outboard to tran-
som. Refer to “Steering Cable and Steering Link Rod
Installation”, following.
Refer to “Determining Recommended Outboard Motor
Mounting Height”, and position outboard on boat transom
aligning mounting holes in transom bracket.
!
CAUTION
Marine sealer must be used on shanks of mounting
bolts to make a water-tight installation.
IMPORTANT: In order to avoid transom damage DO
NOT use an impact driver when tightening transom
mounting bolts.
Apply marine sealer to shanks of mounting bolts (not
threads) secure outboard to transom with 4 bolts, flat wash-
ers and locknuts, as shown. Be sure that installation is wa-
ter-tight.
! WARNING
Before operating, outboards(s) MUST BE SECURED to
boat transom with four 1/2 in. diameter bolts and lock-
nuts, as follows: 2 bolts must be installed thru upper
mounting holes and 2 bolts thru lower mounting holes.
Installation must be water-tight, and outboard should
be checked for tightness on the transom during opera-
tion. Failure to bolt outboard to transom (using 4 bolts
and locknuts, as shown) may result in damage to boat
and/or loss of outboard and possible injury to occu-
pants of boat.

Steering Cable Installation
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to determine cor-
rect length of steering cable and remote control cables.
IMPORTANT: Steering cable and remote control cables
must be the correct length. Cables which are too short
or too long will result in unwanted cable stress.
Install steering mount and steering wheel in accor-
dance with installation instructions that accompany
each.
Dual Outboard
IMPORTANT: The distance from each outboard’s cent-
erline to the side of transom opening or gunnel MUST
BE a minimum of 16 in. (406mm).
With a dual steering system installation, a minimum out-
board centerline distance of 21 in. (533mm) must be at-
tained to assure interference-free movement.
