1. Lift engine into boat and position so that enough propeller shaft protrudes through
transmission and output flange for propeller shaft coupler to be attached. Then install
coupler and position engine (no visible gap between coupling faces when butted
together). Adjust engine bed height if necessary to obtain proper alignment. DO NOT
use mount adjustments to adjust engine position at this time.
IMPORTANT: Engine bed must position engine so that a minimum of 1/4 in. (6 mm)
up and down adjustment still exists on all 4 mounts after performing final alignment.
This is necessary to allow for final engine alignment.

securely.
