I have 1990 omc 4.3 and I am very curious what bolt are holding the motor in? there is 5 bolts on the bell housing area and then the 2 main engine bracket bolts. But there is also 2 larger bolt towards the transom that look like they me need taken out also with out having to unbolt the bell housing? Please tell me before I start pulling I dont wanna unbolt the wrong thing and not unbolt the right thing.

Once you pull the drive, the two rear mount bolts, and two front mounting nuts need to be removed.

Remove the drive first
Remove the 2 rear mounting nuts and large flat washers.
Then remove the lag bolts that hold the motor mounts to the stringer. Leave the mounts attached to the engine.
