4. Power tilt models ‑ To prevent a loss of the outboard, secure the outboard
to the transom with the two transom bracket clamp screws and four
mounting bolts. Drill two
7.9 mm (5/16 in.) holes through the upper set of
transom bracket mounting holes and drill two holes through the lower set
of mounting holes or mounting slots. Fasten with four bolts, flat washers,
and locknuts. Use a marine waterproofing sealer in the holes and around
the bolts to make the installation watertight. Tighten the bolts to the
specified torque.
