the transom plate assy will take care of the rear engine mounts, front mounts may need to be move a little, but shouldn't be a big deal. transom cut out is almost the sane as the merc cut out, will need to drill 2 more holes at the top and maybe modify the hole a little but it will work, X dimension should be fine.
