FWIW, some of those things were NOT correct on the last boat I bought. I insisted on correcting the errors I spotted before I would even put the trailer on my hitch.
You should receive manuals for :
- the boat
- the motor
- the trailer
- instructions for mounting the motor to the boat
and more
Read them all- I found several things that were not set up correctly , according to the manuals. If you have a really good dealer and mechanic, all will be correct. If not, take the boat back and insist on having things set up to as the factory instructs. The dealer and his mechanic
rarely know better than the factory.
