OUTBOARD INSTALLATION

OUTBOARD MOUNTING

IMPORTANT: Some rigging components, such

as steering cables, must be fitted to the outboard

before the outboard is mounted to the transom.

Determine what equipment will be installed before

mounting.

Mounting Height

Boat performance depends on outboard mounting

height.

Generally, the anti-ventilation plate of the gear-

case should align with the bottom of the hull. Con-

ventional V-hulls often perform well with the anti-

ventilation plate approximately 1 in. (25 cm) above

the bottom of the hull.

Boats that exceed 50 MPH may benefit from

higher outboard heights. Consult the boat manu-

facturer for specific outboard mounting height

information for a particular hull.

Test outboard and boat performance at different

heights until the best performance is achieved.

Be sure that outboard water pres-

sure is not adversely affected by the mounting

height of the outboard.

Mounting Bolt Installation

IMPORTANT: Use a marine sealant rated for

above or below waterline use. RTV silicone is not

approved for below waterline use. Polyurethane

sealants are not easily removed and may damage

outboard or boat mounting surfaces.

Apply marine sealer under hex heads of bolts, on

the mounting plates, and to the bolt shanks.

25–30 HP, POWER TRIM MODELS

Assemble transom mounting plates on mounting

bolts.

Install the mounting bolts through the transom

from the inside of the boat.

Position the square aluminum transom mounting

plates (when applicable) so the retainer holes are

horizontal.

Position hex head of bolt with flats toward holes in

the mounting plates. Install retainer over hex head

of the bolt and secure it with screws provided.

Install all washers and nuts. Tighten nuts and bolts

to a torque of 40 ft. lbs. (54 N·m).

NOTICE

DR5536

WARNING

If either side of the transom deforms or

cracks when the bolts are tightened to

their recommended torque, the transom

construction may not be adequate or may

be deteriorated. Structural failure of the

transom could result in loss of boat control

and injury to the occupants.
