ATTACHMENT
INSTALLATION
STERN BRACKET
SAFETY ROPE CLAMP SCREWS
Attach the stern bracket to the boat
transom by tightening the clamp
screws.
Attach a rope from the boat to the
hole in the stern bracket. This will
help to prevent accidental loss of the
outboard motor.
When the outboard motor is installed
extremely low, water may enter into
the engine under case and negatively
affect the performance and durability.
When installing, check that the
outboard motor is high enough from
the water level to keep the engine
under case from waves, splash, etc.
when the engine is stopped with the
boat fully loaded.
Propeller ventilation will occur if the
outboard motor is installed too high
on the boat transom.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat type and bottom shape.
Contact the boat manufacturer for
any special recommendations that are
unique to a specific model of boat.
If the transom needs to be modified
to accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.
