OK, so I did not know the best place to put this, so I will start here. The front engine stringer in my 85 Rinker 20' boat has some rot in it. To get that out, I would have to pull that front mount, and lift the engine a little. Is there any slop in the system to allow me to lift the front of the engine a little? Am I stuck pulling it????

Ayuh,... Do you have the drive off it yet,..??

If so,... Yes, you can lift the front of the motor an inch or so...
Anymore than that,...
Just pull it Out,+ get it Out of your way....Which is probably a Better Idea anyways..
