| By Southern Boats on Engine Upkeep Installing an outboard motor can be as simple as screwing down a few brackets or as involved as refitting the stern of a boat. Outboard motors provide invigorating power to boating. The average outboard motor installation process should not take more than a few hours. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Step 1 Start the outboard installation procedure by getting the right size outboard for your boat. Outboard motors should never exceed the manufacturer's recommendation limits of the specific boat. Step 2 Examine the transom to be sure the outboard's propeller shaft won't drag the bottom in shallow water. The brackets may have to be adjusted if the outboard has a long shaft. Step 3 Read through the manufacturer's installation information. This should be kept with the boat information. The manufacturer will clearly state exactly how to install the outboard. Step 4 Slip the outboard into the clamp bolts. These attach the outboard to the boat. Step 5 Tighten the clamps by hand. The bolts should be flexible enough to allow the outboard to be pivoted out of the way as it is locked onto a trailer or lowered into the water. Step 6 Tie off the outboard with a strong cable and lock to prevent theft.      | | | | |
