Re: Mounting a outboard
New boat -- old boat, is the transom pre-drilled for the mounting bolts. Give us something to go on! Otherwise center the engine on the transom and mount it so the antiventilation plate is flush to an inch or two above the bottom of the keel. Bolt it on using stainless bolts and sealer to prevent water from getting into the holes. You will probably need to attach the steering cable before mounting the engine. That cable is not very flexible.
