Outboard Engine Installation
Long shaft outboard engines should be installed and operated per engine manufacturer’s recommendation to ensure safe
operation. Installing an outboard engine requires centering the engine over the transom mounting plate, positioning
the two turnbuckle fasteners against the metal engine mount plate. Then tighten the turnbuckle fasteners. Recheck
these fasteners for tightness after the 10 minutes of operation and every hour thereafter, and after transport of the
outboard engine.
