Mounting Surface
Transom Surface Inspection
Inspect transom surface prior to drilling mounting
holes
in
a boat's transom.
• The width of the top edge of the transom should
provide adequate clearance.
• The transom must
be
flat and cannot have any
protrusions.
• The transom should meet ABYC Standards.
• The boat's transom angle should be approxi-
mately
14 degrees.
• Identify issues related to transom strength, tran-
som height, splash-well clearance, and cable or
hose routing.
• Identify specific steering system requirements.
Refer to the specifications for
all steering sys-
tems and the manufacturer's steering system
installation instructions.

NOT install an outboard on a curved
or
irregular surface. Doing so can wear, bind,
and damage components, causing
loss
of
control.
