Despite the cold weather I thought I'd get a jump on getting the boat ready to re-install my outdrive in the Spring, and thought it would be a good idea to align the engine. The drive was also difficult to remove, and required using a scissor jack to get it off. I found that regardless of how I adjusted the front engine mounts, I was not able to get the drive alignment tool anywhere near complete insertion. I even tried the old yoke, and same story. I wonder if the rear mounts are out of adjustment, or require shimming or replacing? I'm worried that if I can't insert the alignment tool all the way, trying to install the 175lb drive will be a nightmare. The posted photos are the both
rear mounts.
