I have had a 1974 17ft Montauk for a year and after reading all the great posts here I figure I need to raise my 2001 90hp Yamaha to "Two Holes Up"...although it runs to 5,200 rpm no problem. But perhaps it will allow a higher mph?
But then I got to looking to move the engine up and I can't find the lower mounting bolts..are they under the trim unit? Or was this mounted without lower bolts (which I can imagine would be the case)?
As always, measure twice inside and out before drilling any holes.
Make sure the Green holes will clear the splashwell.
Check to see if you can drill the Yellow holes but most likely you cannot.
