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.
