Cutting Transom
Transom cutout can be made by either using the Template [shipped with transom assembly]
or the Transom Drilling Fixture Kit (purchased separately).
Follow instructions indicated on template or provided with drilling fixture.
IMPORTANT: Read and observe the following information:
Be certain that centerlines on either the template or transom drilling fixture align
with lines previously marked on transom.
Be sure to drill 1/4 in. pilot holes (for hole saw guide) at a 60° angle and to cut on
the line when making transom cutout. If cutout is made incorrectly, drive unit
steering lever may contact transom, thus limiting steering travel.
Seal inside edge of transom cutout opening with a suitable sealant to prevent wa-
ter absorption and deterioration of transom.
