I've never owned a boat before and just bought a 1987 starcraft seafarer 16ft with a 2000 25hp yamaha 4 stroke on it. when I took it out for the first time the motor almost fell off when one of the clamps came loose. I didn't even think to check to see if they were tight before we went out.
My question is does a 25hp motor need to be bolted to the transom or is it small enough to be fine with just the clamps tightened down?
