IMPORTANT: Clearance must be maintained between the
vessel transom and the outboard transom bracket relief radius
area. Failure to maintain clearance may damage the transom
bracket and cause the transom bracket to fail. Adjustments to the
position of the Mercury Marine transom drilling fixture may be
required to ensure proper clearance of the transom bracket relief
radius area.

Installation
1. Apply marine sealer to the shanks of the bolts, not to the
threads.
2. Fasten the outboard with the correct mounting hardware.
Tighten the locknuts to the specified torque.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that a minimum of two full threads of the
mounting bolts extend beyond the locknut after tightening. The
locknut must be drawn tight while still engaging the bolt threads
and not contacting the shank of the bolt.
