Clamping the outboard motor
1.
Place the outboard motor on the tran-
som so that it is positioned as close to
the center as possible. Tighten the tran-
som clamp screws evenly and securely.
Occasionally check the clamp screws
for tightness during operation of the out-
board motor because they could be-
come loose due to engine vibration.

WARNING
Loose clamp screws could allow the out-
board motor to fall off or move on the
transom. This could cause loss of control
and serious injury. Make sure the tran-
som screws are tightened securely. Oc-
casionally check the screws for tightness
during operation.
2.
If the engine restraint cable attachment
is equipped on your engine, an engine
restraint cable or chain should be used.
Attach one end to the engine restraint
cable attachment and the other to a se-
cure mounting point on the boat. Other-
wise the engine could be completely lost
if it accidentally falls off the transom.
3.
Secure the clamp bracket to the transom
using the bolts provided with the out-
board (if packed). For details, consult
your Yamaha dealer.

Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers other
than those contained in the engine pack-
aging. If used, they must be of at least the
same quality of material and strength and
must be tightened securely. After tighten-
ing, test run the engine and check their
tightness.
