TRANSOM DRILLING
Before drilling, check the thickness of the
transom, making sure it does not exceed the
maximum allowable thickness of 50 - 70 mm
(2 - 2 3/4 in).
1. Set the outboard motor onto the boat transom
and verify the correct installation height.
2. The upper bolt holes should be more than
33 mm (1.3 in) from the top of the transom.
The lower bolt holes should allow the
mounting bolts to contact the upper end of the
stern bracket (see
USING THE TRANSOM
MOUNT DRILL FIXTURE
).
3. Wear safety glasses and drill four holes with a
1/2 in drill bit in the upper “C” and lower “D”
guides of the Transom Mount Drill Fixture, or
using the dimensions below.
STEERING PREPARATION
Remove the cap from the steering/tilt tube prior to
installing the steering system.
Loosely install the hydraulic or mechanical
steering cables on the motor before final
placement of the motor on the transom.
Refer to the steering cable or hydraulic steering
manufacturer’s instruction manual for handling
procedures.
