frame.
2. Carefully lift up the upper frame with help from
an assistant taking care not to strike the
outboard motor.
3. Lift up and remove the corrugated cardboard
cover.
4. Remove the parts carton from the crate.
Compare the parts to the parts list (see
page 18-5).
5. Remove the protective covers.
6. Open the three lock levers, and then remove
the engine cover.
CAUTION

7. Attach engine hanger, T/N VSB02C000021,
only to the two upper engine hangers. As
necessary, use clean protective pads between
the anchors and the engine belt cover or other
related parts. Use an overhead gantry type
crane with a lift capacity of at least 2000 lb.
Do not use an automotive type telescoping
hydraulic crane. This type of crane may tend
to tip when the boom is extended and the
motor is lifted to the installation height.
8. Lift the motor with the crate frame attached.
With the motor upright and the lower crate
frame resting on the floor, remove the
following:
• Flange nut and washer
• Flange bolt and washer
• Two special bolts
• Four flange nuts, washers, and special
washers
• Lower crate frame

INSTALLATION HEIGHT REQUIREMENT
With the boat loaded, stationary, and the motor perpendicular to the water surface,
there must be a minimum of 150 mm (5.9 in) for BF200A • BF225A • BF250A between
the water surface and the idle exhaust port.
If the motor is mounted lower on the transom, water may enter the exhaust port
through wave surge or backwash, potentially causing engine damage.

TRANSOM DRILLING
Before drilling, check the thickness of the
transom, making sure it does not exceed the
maximum allowable thickness of 50 - 70 mm
(2 - 2 3/4 in).
1. Set the outboard motor onto the boat transom
and verify the correct installation height.
2. The upper bolt holes should be more than
33 mm (1.3 in) from the top of the transom.
The lower bolt holes should allow the
mounting bolts to contact the upper end of the
stern bracket (see USING THE TRANSOM
MOUNT DRILL FIXTURE on page 1-37).
3. Wear safety glasses and drill four holes with a
1/2 in drill bit in the upper “C” and lower “D”
guides of the Transom Mount Drill Fixture, or
using the dimensions below.
STEERING PREPARATION
Remove the cap from the steering/tilt tube prior to
installing the steering system.
Loosely install the hydraulic or mechanical
steering cables on the motor before final
placement of the motor on the transom.
Refer to the steering cable or hydraulic steering
manufacturer’s instruction manual for handling
procedures.

BOLTING MOTOR TO TRANSOM
Apply marine hull sealant to the mounting holes
and inside sealing surface of the large washer.
Use Hondabond HT (P/N 08718-0004) or
equivalent polymer sealant for below waterline
use. Adhesives should not be used, as they will
result in difficult motor removal or height
adjustment. Gel coat damage may also occur
when removing/adjusting the motor.
With the motor in place against the transom,
verify correct motor height. The motor can be
raised by using a lower set of mounting holes on
the bracket.
If the boat transom has molding that prevents the
outboard stern bracket from sitting flat against the
transom, add a spacer plate or contact the boat
manufacturer for information on how to remove
the molding.
Attach the motor with marine grade hardware.
Use washers under all bolts and nuts. Use
additional fender washers against the transom.
Use support plates as recommended by the hull
manufacturer.
Lubricate the mounting bolt threads with marine
grease prior to installing the mounting bolt nuts to
prevent thread galling and locknut insert damage.
Tighten the transom 12 mm hex nuts to the
specified torque, and secure with the jam nuts.
TORQUE: 54 N•m (40 lbf-ft)
Ensure at least one thread of the bolt is visible
beyond the nut when the fastener is tightened.
NOTICE
Do not use an air impact tool to tighten or loosen
the transom bolts. Using an air impact tool to
tighten or loosen the transom bolts can generate
enough heat to damage the bolt threads. The air
impact tool can also produce enough tightening
torque to damage the boat transom.
Do not scratch the transom bracket when
tightening the mounting bolts. Removing paint
promotes corrosion and leads to eventual failure
of the bracket.
Pay attention to the washers, support plates (if applicable), and boat transom as the
nuts are tightened. This is especially important on boats that are being repowered. If
the washers and/or support plates are drawn into the transom material, the transom
material is weakened and must be inspected and repaired as necessary before the
motor is installed.
If the transom is found to be soft, water penetration may have occurred and caused the
transom material to rot and weaken. Contact the boat manufacturer for boat repair
information as needed.
