Tailstock/engine allignment question?
Are there supposed to be some spacers or washers that go between the tailstock and the transom plate to allign the motor
I dont remember taking any off but that was last October, and I could have easily forgotton
When I look through the gimbal at the tailstock from the outside of the boat, the tailstock seems to be sitting way lower than it should be
Any suggestions?

Spacer
Yes , there is a leather like material with a split/spring washer in the centre that goes between the bellhousing & transom plate. Hope this helps you out. Check Bam's Mercruiser parts section & you will see what ya need.
