Hi All,
Wierd deal, I am repowering my 1995 mercruiser 5.7 L and bought new rear motor mounts and the bolt kit. In the diagrams I have seen (thanks Don S) the old style mounts have a double wound washer that looks like it sits on TOP of the transom plate mount. That's fine, except the transom plate that I have has a large hole for the bolt to go though, large enough for the old-style spring washer to drop though....the transom plate mount is kinda hollow, and there's probably 1" under the surface where the fiber washer rests. I bought a kit with the old-style mounts, so I was going to replace everything as original, but now I'm a bit confused. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Jim
