Service Bulletin BULLETIN NO : SBMA200313 BULLETIN TO : ALL MARINE DEALERS ATTENTION : SERVICE MANAGER AND All RELEVANT STAFF DATE : August 2003 SUBJECT : BF25A4 and 30A4 Gas and power tilt Ladies and Gentlemen, To assist you in the fit-up of these exciting and long awaited engines, we have some important information that differs to the older style manual tilt models. Gauges and cables The new BF25/30 A4 trim and tilt models are supplied with a trim gauge assembly as a standard component. If the trim gauge is to be remotely located or a tachometer is to complement the trim gauge, you will require meter harness (A).
Both the tachometer, part number 37250-ZW2-911 and meter harness (A) part number 32540-ZV5-911 are not supplied with the engine and can be ordered normally, via our spare parts division. Transom drilling The new BF25 and 30, with gas assist or power trim and tilt, have an enlarged stern bracket. The transom drilling fixture, L07MPZ-ZV3010B, must not be used to pre-drill the boat transom (BF15- 20 PTT has the same pattern.) Please follow the instructions and template as outlined below. 1/.Do not use the transom drilling fixture for these brackets.
2/.Using the transom bracket on the outboard, mark four centre marks for the bolt holes on the transom board (two marks on either side of the outboard motor installation lines). Use highest holes in the upper bracket. Be sure the upper bolt holes are not located above the position shown in the drawing, (less than 57 mm from the top of the transom.) 3/.The Lower bolt holes should be in the top of the bracket slots. Wearing safety glasses, drill pilot holes using a 3-5 mm drill bit. Finish drilling the holes using a 10.2 mm drill bit. .
