Install the outboard along the centerline of the boat transom. Fasten the outboard to the transom following the recommended installation instructions provided with the outboard or from the outboard manufacturer.
Check outboard for tightness on transom before each use.

WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horsepower limit of a boat can: 1) cause loss of boat control 2) place too much weight at the transom altering the designed flotation characteristics of the boat or 3) cause the boat to break apart particularly around the transom area. Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage.
