• Verify the outboard is securely attached to the boat transom.
If the outboard or any of its fasteners are loose, tighten them
to the specified torque. When checking to verify the
outboard is securely fastened, look for loss of outboard
transom bracket material or paint caused by movement
between the outboard mounting fasteners and the outboard
transom brackets. Also look for signs of movement between
the outboard transom brackets and the boat transom or lift
plate/setback bracket.
