off the boat transom resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the required
mounting hardware.
This product must be secured to the transom with the required mounting
hardware. If the outboard strikes an under water object, the required mounting

IMPORTANT: Determine the strength of the boat transom. The outboard
mounting locknuts and bolts should be able to hold 75 Nm (55 lb‑ft) of torque
without the boat transom yielding or cracking. If the boat transom yields or
cracks under this torque, the construction of the transom may not be adequate.
The boat transom must be strengthened or the load carrying area increased.
a - Transom yielding under bolt torque
b - Transom cracking under bolt torque
