2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor
1. Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws
for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to
engine vibration.
CAUTION:
Outboards that use clamp bracket screws alone are INSUFFICIENT to properly and safely
secure the outboard to the Transom. Proper installation of the outboard includes bolting the
engine to the boat through the transom.
WARNING
Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This
could cause loss of control. Make sure the clamp screws are tightened
securely, occasionally
check the screws for tightness during operation.
2. If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped on your
engine, an engine restraint cable or chain should be used.
Attach to a secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the
engine being completely lost if it accidentally falls off the
transom.
