Hi, I'm repowering (from OMC) to VP. I don't have access to an engine foundation alignment tool so I'm trying to be methodical about it. I plan on mounting the bellhousing into the transom shield at the specified torques and an align it, then using a straightedge, measure back from the edge of the bellhousing 11-9/16", that will give me the location and center of my engine mounts. My question is this, how can I determine the height (top) of plates that mount to the stringers, these are the plates that the engine mounts bolt to. Also, the distance, center to center of the stringers is 22-1/2", is this a standard width for VP engine mounts? I was hoping to not have to drop the engine in to do this since that is not a trivial task. Thanks in advance.
