I/O motor mount holes question
Just looking through want2fish's post in photos, and I saw mention of needing to reposition the front motor mount when upgrading from an old mercruiser. I'm currently putting a 3.0/Alpha one gen II into the '65 Bowrider. Does anyone know the distance I need to move it? Or should I lay the motor on the back mounts and see where the front mounting post lands? Thanks!

It is going to go forward rougly 2" the mount on mine is in the original position they just drilled holes about 1" from the front of the board I can take pic's if you need. I plan to remove mine a put a 2x6 in the place of the 2x4 that is in there now

Re: I/O motor mount holes question
if you can get your hands on a Mercruiser installation manual it will give you the perfect measurements, they are not that hard to find, they usually put a copy of the installation manual with the engine opertors manual with each new engine. most people never evne know whats its for or ewven open it up, if you can find a Mecruiser tech, he probaly has one laying around( not to be confused with the service manual) worse comes to worse, i think you can find it available on line
