I am New to boating/ first boat purchased last week--While replacing the Alt. Belt and playing with the front motor mounts I noticed that there is about 1/8" play ..... The single mounting bolt that runs through the center..

.. the bottom two nuts are 1/8" under the metal mount bracket tightened to each other. So its got just enought to have me think it is supposed to be there...what have you heard?...

Bottom Line: Is a little play acceptable?
---- or do I need to pull the engine out to get to the bottom two nuts??? Or replace the rubber bushing possibly?


Thanks!!
