[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 472046, member: 7376"] Most of the 40's use standard BIA 4 bolt mounting. SS fine thread is what I see a lot of, however Mercury sends coarse thread 1/2" SS bolts with theirs. I do like the fact that Mercury uses locking nuts but sometimes they won't come back off. Never had a problem with yamaha's double-nut/fine thread setup. Just takes longer to assemble. You don't have to torque any of them very tight, IIRC 40 lb-ft. Dont seem like much but it's easy to crush a transom. [/QUOTE]
