Mercury Marine Validated Engine Mounting Hardware
IMPORTANT: Mercury Marine provides validated fasteners and installation
instructions, including torque specifications, with all of our outboards so they
can be properly secured to boat transoms. Improper installation of the outboard
can cause performance and reliability issues that can lead to safety concerns.
Follow all of the instructions relating to the outboard installation. DO NOT
mount any other accessory onto the boat with the fasteners provided with the
outboard. For example, do not mount tow sport bars or boarding ladders onto
the boat using the mounting hardware included with the outboard. Installing
other products onto the boat that utilize the outboard mounting hardware will
compromise the ability of that hardware to properly and safely secure the
outboard to the transom.
Outboards that require validated mounting hardware will have the following
decal on the transom clamp.

Accessories Mounted to the Transom Clamp Bracket
Mercury Marine has been made aware that certain aftermarket marine
accessories, such as emergency boarding ladders, shallow water anchors,
transom wedge kits, and tow sport attaching devices, have been mounted to
the boat by use of the same fasteners that secure the outboard to the transom
or jack plate. Using the same fastener to secure both an accessory and the
engine to the boat compromises the ability of the fasteners to maintain the
proper clamp load. A boat with loose engine mounting fasteners creates the
possibility of performance, durability, and safety issues.
