I am installing my engine to line up with the flex shaft housing and the front of the engine needs to be shimmed up.
or
The front of the motor mount needs to be shimmed up it is the mike hughes style that mounts thru the floor of the hull.
I filed off some material off the round part of 2 washers (aprox 1mm thick) so they would not hit the side of the engine and the bolts would pass through them.
Then I placed the washers between the mount and the engine mounting flange and tightened them down without loctite and everything lines up perfectly.
The only thing is there is now a very thin hardly noticable sloped space between the front mounting bolts and the rear.
Is this the correct way of doing this or should the engine flange be on the mount and under the mount between the mount and the floor of the boat be shimmed.
Thanks
terry
