CLAMPING THE OUTBOARD
MOTOR
1) Place the outboard on the transom
so that it is positioned as close to the
center as possible. Tighten the tran-
som clamp screws evenly and
securely. Check the clamp-screws for
tightness occasionally during opera-
tion of the motor as they can work
loose due to engine vibration.
w
Loose clamp screws could allow the
motor to move on the transom or fall
off the transom. This could cause loss of
control and serious injury. Make sure
the transom screws are tightened
securely.
Occasionally check the screws for tight-
ness during operation.
2) An engine restraint cable or chain
should be used. Attach one end to
the engine restraint cable attachment
point and the other to a secure
mounting point on the boat. Other-
wise, the engine could be completely
lost if it accidentally falls off the tran-
som.
