Please be aware that Transom Cradles need to be returned back to Mercury along with the empty MerCruiser containers.
There should have been (1) transom cradle in each MerCruiser engine container. When Mercury ships you a MerCruiser engine, inside the Engine container would be the
sterndrive engine and the transom, which is nestled inside of this transom cradle to protect it during shipment.
The Transom Cradle has a white label stating to return back to Mercury Marine. Next, with these Transom Cradles, we'd like them to be stacked up together and then all
placed inside of an empty MerCruiser engine container.
