I just finished a transom service today including replacing the gimbal bearing. Upon checking the alignment, I can tell that I'm off just a fraction as the alignment tool drags a bit too much as I withdrawal it from the engine coupler. I've determined that the front of the engine needs to be raised ever so slightly. So here's the problem. Even after removing the alternator, raw water pump, and loosening the cool fuel unit, I can not under any circumstances or techniques known to reasonable humans reach the starboard engine mount. There is simple no access. None. I can get a finger on the bolt and that's about it.
Is there anyone who knows a trick to bending the tab washer out of the way or simply a technique on getting a wrench on the bottom nut I would greatly appreciate it.
BTW, if there are any Searay or Mercruiser engineers lurking on this site, you should all be ashamed of your selves for building a boat that is basically un-serviceable. I will be paying closer attention to serviceability when I make my next purchase.
