My cousin's boat, a 79 Starcraft Mariner with a 40hp. The motor has clamps but also 2 bolts below the clamps for attachment to the transom.
I think he has the motor maybe 1.5 inches to low. The 2 bolts are only through the aluminum below the transom board. I think it should be higher so the bottom bolts actually go into the new plywood. Thoughts? Having trouble with pics on phone... the flat plate above the prop is probably 2-3 inches below the line of the hull.
