    Transom bolt specs?

    Does anyone know the specifications for the transom mount bolts for a 1990 Mercury 40ELPTO outboard? I recently acquired this motor and need to mount it to my boat. It didn't come with the bolts to mount the engine to the transom. I want to make sure I get the right spec bolts. Thanks!

The plywood floor was all rotten and the foam underneath was soaked and rotten making the boat a solid 50lbs or more heavier than it should be. The floor appeared to be a half arsed backyard addition, not something it would have...
