I appreciate the reply! You might be right, it looks like the rubber bushings aren't where they should be on the side closest to the
engine. I never noticed but your photo and my technical drawing confirms this. It was installed with the new
engine 1000 hours ago (before I bought the boat). Other than that I can't see any other issues with the install. Have you ever had to get a replacement boot or happen to know where I can?
