Failure to mount the engine at the correct and install a correctly sized propeller will lug or over-rev your motor and cause damage.

You want the motor mounted at least two holes up. Could be higher depending on the propeller.

You also want the dealer to install a stainless steel propeller of the correct size and pitch so when the boat is lightly loaded with fuel and gear, it reaches to midrange of the manufacturer's wide open throttle.

You are spending north of $8K, get your money's worth and make sure your dealer does a proper job.

The holes in the transom are in standard locations, what hole the bolt uses on the bracket is the variable.
