Seafarer motor mounts

[Dan Fortney]

Does anyone know if the motor mounts on a 1986, 227 Seafarer are adjustable to obtain some left to right movement ? Need to reinstall the outdrive after replacing a boot, but the shaft will not go in without forcing the front of the engine to the right, by way of literally pushing the motor to the right.

What boot did you replace? What engine and drive do you have?

Chevy 305, OMC outdrive. My brothers replaced the boot, shaft had to come out for the boot installation, but I cannot sat for sure which one was replaced.

The engine did not have to be removed for this work.

I can’t see any reason the engine would need to be moved. Post some pics when you get a chance n I’m sure it can be figured out.
