Cutting Transom
Transom cutout can be made by either using the Template [shipped with transom assembly]
or the Transom Drilling Fixture Kit (purchased separately).
Follow instructions indicated on template or provided with drilling fixture.
IMPORTANT: Read and observe the following information:
• Be certain that centerlines on either the template or transom drilling fixture align
with lines previously marked on transom.
• Be sure to drill 1/4 in. pilot holes (for hole saw guide) at a 60° angle and to cut on
the line when making transom cutout. If cutout is made incorrectly, drive unit
steering lever may contact transom, thus limiting steering travel.
• Seal inside edge of transom cutout opening with a suitable sealant to prevent wa-
ter absorption and deterioration of transom.
