To raise the motor, you don't need a jack. You can use the trailer and trailer jack. Even though the 60 hp is light, a second set of hands is necessary.
Block the wheels.
Lower the tongue of the trailer all the way down with the jack.
Lower motor till vertical.
Block motor skeg on ground.
Loosen bottom bolts (in slots)
Remove top bolts (Have buddy hold motor still)
Raise tongue jack till holes line up
Recaulk top holes and reinsert bolts. Caulk and tighten nuts
Caulk lower bolts and nuts, tighten
DO NOT use 4200. Use a SEALANT
