ENGINE MOUNTING
Bronze or stainless steel hanger bolts of appropriate size are
recommended for use through the engine’s flexible mounts.
Less preferred are lag screws because their hold on the wood
is weakened every time they are moved, whereas hanger
bolts stay in position. If the nut on top of the hanger bolt is
removed to allow the engine to be lifted, the hanger bolt
itself remains in place as a stud. Consequently, the bond
between the hanger bolt and the wood is not weakened by
the removal of the nut or the engine.
To screw a hanger bolt onto a stringer, thread two nuts onto
the hanger bolt, jam them together, then turn the hanger bolt
into the stringer using a wrench on the uppermost nut.
The engine’s mounting angle cannot exceed 15L from the
horizontal plane. Refer to the specification section in your
operating manual for the angle limit of your engine.
NOTE: There are various transmissions that provide down
angle output flanges to help in positioning the engine on a
more level plane.
