IMPORTANT: Finished boat stringer must position engine so that a minimum mount
adjustment exists after front mount is adjusted down to stringer. This allows for fu-
ture adjustments.
9. Adjust front mount assembly until it touches stringer.
10. Recheck alignment with alignment tool. Tool must enter coupler splines freely. If not,
readjust front mounts.
11. When alignment is correct, tighten locknut or nut with lockwasher on each mount se-
curely.
12. Bend tab washer down against flat on adjusting nut.
NOTE:
Coat both nuts and threaded portion of mount with Perfect Seal if used in a saltwater
environment to reduce rust and ease of serviceability.
