poleurathane motor mount problem*

[Swims350]

so how'd you finally get them just loosen them up? If your motor mounts are still loose then I'd think a ratchet strap would work pretty good, but might want to loosen the bolts on it as well so it can move a little more in case you get it close with the strap, then can fine tune it with the mount, or check to see if it can be rotated 180 and try it?

I lowered one side in and slide the bolt through, then took a 2x4 and a hammer to the otherside until it was close. Then we stuck a alignment punch through the hole and jumped up and down on it until it lined up! We didn't loosen anything? I just need to pull the tranny over about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to put the bolt in. I hope nothing gets in a bind should be OK....

been there done that, same way the mcss was but this last time beating it with a 2x4 and hammer done nothing. I coulkd get one side lined up no matter what but the other was a PITA. Glad it worked out though.

Ratchet strap worked like a charm! Its mounted!
