I will tell you what I forget. The rear motor mounts, remember how the fiber washer and lockwasher are placed. They must be exact when you put it back together or your alignement will be off.
I always have to look in a manual or search from previous postings
When I first starting going this, I also used masking tape on the wires, wrote a number on it then wrote down exactly what the wire went to. I am getting much older now and forget even after doing this so many times

On the rear mounts...if you take some trim adhesive and glue the leather washer down....it tends to hold the spring washer in place,make sure the aluminum nuts are in place

If this is Bravo's, Check the springs, they are usually cracked. And it the rear bolts come out hard, you might want to replace them or at least the nuts.

Rig something strong to lift the hatch off and fine a place to store.You should be able to disconect the rubber hose of the exhaust to tips,if not take the risers off.We keep different colors of tape so if we have to cut a wire ,we put tape on it and cut through the tape and match the colors going back. Get-er done its getting late.

great Stuff Guys .... keep it comin ...yea the plan is to paint the bilge and do some re-rigging .....I have seen some motors with the Wiring harnesses come from the transome area instead of accross the front of the motors .... I assume you can get different length Harnesses ? Port motor has new harness going to move it to starboard side nad get a longer on for port motor ... The hatch is coming off and stored away ...

Same year as my old one. Look at the hatch hinges, mine were crap. I made new ones out of SS.
