IMPORTANT DAILY INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE
Any outboard mounted on the boat must have the mounting hardware
inspected and checked to ensure that the hardware has not become loose. A
decal on the transom bracket reminds the owner to check the fasteners
securing the outboard to the transom before each use.
