Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... Pull the drive off, 'n drop the motor 'bout into place on the hook,...

Set the rear motor mounts in-place. 'n drop the bolts in,...

Slide yer alignment bar in through the gimbel bearin', 'n align the motor on the hook,...

With the side motor mounts set to the center of their travel, That's where ya need to build the wooden motor mounts out too,...
So,...
Lift the motor out, build up the blocks, drop the motor in, realign, bolt it down, re-check the alignment, 'n then bolt the drive back on, 'n yer done,...

Btw,... The only drawin's I know of are for the keyhole, 'n stud placement, in the transom,...
Not for the forward mounts,...
