I am a proud owner of my first boat, a 1979 with an OMC 140 Sterndrive. I have the motor running thanks to some of the threads I found here so thanks to everyone that helped others in the past.
I put it in for a float test and that went well. That is until I turned it up past idle. As soon as it started to plane I came to the realization that the entire motor was lifting up from the frame mounts. I am not entirely sure what to call them, but they are the square braces that the mounts bolt onto. They aren't attached to the boat.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to remount these braces to the boat?
