2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor
1. Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for
tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine
vibration.
CAUTION:
Outboards that use clamp bracket screws alone are INSUFFICIENT to properly and safely
secure the outboard to the Transom. Proper installation of the outboard includes bolting the
engine to the boat through the transom.
WARNING
:
Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This
could cause loss of control. Make sure the clamp screws are tightened securely, occasionally
check the screws for tightness during operation.
2. If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped
on your engine, an engine restraint cable or chain
should be used. Attach to a secure mounting point on
the boat to avoid the engine being completely lost if it
accidentally falls off the transom.
