PREPARING THE ENGINE
FOR THIS STEP YOU ARE GOING TO NEED:
➧ #1 Phillips screwdriver
➧ 4mm nut driver
➧ Thread locking compound
Prepare the engine by installing the metal ball links to the
engine tiller arm. You are going to want to install the ball
links in the inner most holes of the tiller arm. You might have
to enlarge the holes of the aluminum tiller arm to allow the
screw to pass through. It’s a good idea to use a little thread
locker on the screw to help secure the parts. Now is also a
good time to check the direction of the mount plate to make
sure it’s positioned with the pivot boss near the bottom.
You can also install the throttle cable clamp at this time.
FOR THIS STEP YOU ARE GOING TO NEED:
➧ Scissors or hobby knife
➧ Hand drill with both 1/8" and 9/64" drill bits
➧ 2.5mm hex wrench
➧ Masking tape
Cut engine mounting template from the back of this manual.
Center the template on the transom and tape in place. Use a 1/8"
drill bit and drill the center marks on the template. Remove the
template and enlarge the holes by re-drilling with a 9/64" drill bit.
