I mounted my mercury 250 efi's on the twin engine bracket and I just had a question, as I can't remember how it was when I took them off. On the engine mount bolts should I used a normal washer along with the lock washer, the on the other side I used the locknut along with a lockwasher. Does it matter if you use the lock washer or not? I used both just to be on the safe side and didn't know if it mattered or not? It's kind of a confusing question and I apologize if it is. The bottom bolts are just lag bolted on the bracket. On the bottom bolts I used the big washer along with the lock washer then I lag bolted on the engine bracket. I wanted to ask just to be on the safe side. Does it matter if you use that smaller washer which is split on the end or does it not matter?

If you use a locknut with the nylon no lockwasher is required. If anything is lag bolted then yes use a lockwasher.
