This is ridiculous.

Ask the mechanic "How many empty bolt holes ABOVE the bolt in the top bracket? If he says 2, you are good. If 1, the motor is mounted TOO LOW.

Not clear?, take a photo showing the back of the transom and motor bracket /bolts, upload it and add a link so we can see.

You are the customer. He should do what you tell him.
You tell him "mount the motor 2 holes up". If it's not that way, he needs to remount the motor at no cost to you.

What is the point of spending time on this board, getting solid knowledge from members and then not following through? It is your $ 8,000.+++ to spend.
