Thanks,

1987 Omc cobra 4.3 L,

I got the front of the motor up and got it aligned well, however I still need approx 1/8 " up from the motor mounts. this puts it a couple turns up from the previous position of the lock nut and adjusting nut

I get to a point and the whole bolt in the motor mount starts turning, so my question is :

does the bolt, that runs thru the mount threaded from one end to another, or does the bolt only allow so much room for the lock nut to be adjusted ?

Thanks

One thing I always do when the motor has to be adjusted to the top of the mount bolts, is to put a piece of wood the proper thickness so the mount is close to center of the mount bolt.
Usually plywood coated with West System epoxy (or similar) and painted to match the bilge. Works great. If necessary, get longer lag bolts.
