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 secure-
ly. Check the clamp-screws for tight-
ness occasionally during operation of
the motor as they can work loose due

to engine vibration.

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.
