For added safety, a stainless-steel throttle return spring has been installed on
engines with a carburetor during factory assembly. This spring returns the throttle
linkage to idle position when the squeeze lever is released. To ensure that the
throttle operates smoothly on engines with a carburetor, periodically lubricate the
throttle linkages with a WD-40 type spray lubricant. This is not necessary for an
EFI engine. For freezing temperatures, stand the handle in a vertical position and
inject antifreeze into the throttle cable with a hypodermic needle and work the
throttle back and forth. This will keep any moisture from freezing your throttle.
12. Bolt the engine to the transom as described below.
Looking from the rear of the engine, notice that the transom clamp has two
horizontal rows of holes. Either the two upper or two lower holes need to be used
to secure the engine to the transom. Four holes are provided to accommodate
various transom designs.
Using a 3/8” drill bit, drill through the lowest hole pattern on the bracket which
would allow the bolts to pass through a structural cross-member of the transom.
Install the two supplied 3/8” x 3” bolts, washers and nylon insert nuts. For Go-
Devil boats, the engine should be bolted to the transom using the two top holes.
ATTENTION: The Go-Devil Surface Drive
engine MUST BE BOLTED TO THE
TRANSOM!!!!! Failing to do so will cause
the transom clamp to loosen while
trailering, allowing the engine to possibly
fall off of the transom!!!!
BOLTS MUST PASS THROUGH A
STRUCTURAL CROSS-MEMBER OF THE
TRANSOM!!! (channel, tube, rib, etc.)
