Apply marine hull sealant to the mounting holes and
hardware. Use Hondabond HT
(PIN 08718-0001) or
equivalent silicone sealant for below waterline use.
With the motor in place against the transom, verify
correct motor height. Motor can be raised by using
a lower set
of mounting holes.
Attach the motor with marine grade hardware. Use
washers under all bolts and nuts. Use additional
fender washers against the transom. Use support
plates as recommended by the hull manufacturer.
Apply a small amount of oil
or grease to all bolt
threads prior to installation.
Be sure at least one thread
of the bolt is visible
beyond the nut when the fasteners are tightened.
I NOTICE I
Do not use an air impact tool to tighten or loosen
the transom bolts. Using an air impact tool
to
tighten or loosen the transom bolts can generate
enough heat
to damage the bolt threads. The air
impact tool can also produce enough tightening
torque
to damage the boat transom.
