    Default Motor bolts torque


    What should the Torque be on the 1/2 in. bolts holding the motor to the transom? 2002 bass tracker 175. It has wood inbetween the aluminum.

    Wilbur I'm not for sure but Archerguy or someone posted a few months ago on same subject. It was a whole lot more than the standard torque for a 1/2 in bolt since they are stainless. I want to say when I mounted a add on trim unit to my old boat I torqued them to 125 and never had any problems. Alumacraft with wood on inside of transom.
