The mounting hardware used to attach the out-
board to the pallet is reused to fasten outboard to
boat transom.

screws completely.
Fasten appropriate chain hook to eye of tool.
Carefully hoist outboard with chain and unbolt out-
board mounting brackets from frame.
Steering Systems
Mechanical Cables
All
Evinrude
outboards equipped with tilt tubes are
compatible with mechanical steering systems that
meet ABYC Standard P-17. Single-cable mechan-
ical steering systems can be used on single or
dual-outboard installations if an ABYC-approved
steering link is used.
Dual-cable mechanical steering helps provide firm
steering control at high speeds.
Extend the steering cable and lubricate the inner
core before installation.
IMPORTANT:
Install steering cable through tilt
tube
before
mounting outboard on transom.
Tighten nut securely.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, make sure the
lifting capacity of the hoist is at least twice
the weight of the outboard.
DO NOT allow the lift hook or chain from
the hoist to come in contact with any part
of the engine during lifting.
