Engine mounts
Hi, new ( to-me ) engine is in the boat but not sitting on the mounts yet. I do not have a handy photo but the mounts are just threaded shafts emerging directly from a glassed base. When I removed the engine, I kept the various rubber sheets, washers and tin that had been used to align the engine. All told though it probably addes up to ~ 1/4 - 1/3 inch. Any thoughts on re-aligning? I could replace the original various spacers with fresher equivalents - if I were to install nuts on the mounts the engine woudl ride too high...
