Tomorrow I'm buying a 1990 Johnson 175hp with a 25" shaft. I have never installed or removed an outboard before so here's my questions. I'm removing a 1996 Force 120 hp engine, so I'm assuming none of the holes will line up for the Johnson. From you pros out there, Is there a kit or a template to lay over the transom to drill the holes? I just don't want to make any mistakes, and I definitely want to get the motor in the center of the boat and level. Any suggestions or tips? FWIW, this motor is going on a Fisher Bay 19 center console. Thank you in advance.
