I'm looking at a service manual for a Merc outboard. Many of the torque specs say either "TIGHT" or "DRIVE TIGHT" instead of a reading in lb-in / lb-ft / Nm. What's meant by TIGHT and DRIVE TIGHT? Thanks.

It looks like an official Mercury manual. On the back cover it says "Copyright: 2000, Mercury Marine"
