Did I get this right? I can’t remember how it all came apart and the diagrams are so so.

Large washer and spring washer in the middle then a fiber washer. The big washer and fiber washer have lots over movement even tightened up (not torqued to spec yet but probably 55-60 lbs now). The offshore mounts lined up so I’m thinking it’s good. I didn’t tape them in this time… stacked them and had by buddy keep them straight going back in. Was a ***** to get straight but went back together good.

Should I have used two fiber washers? Does it matter? The spring washer makes the adjustment.

Lots of questions about this on OSO without finished answers. Want to make sure I’m good. Drives were not removed… alignment has been right for 33 years so didn’t feel the need to check.

Should only be one steel washer on transom plate, then one fiber washer, then spring inside the fiber. Then trans mount sits on top of all that. Then you have on top of trans mount a fiber washer, then a steel washer, then the bolt goes down through it all with elastic stop nut on end. You can put the bolt in from either direction, up or down. This is how it is shown in the 2 pics from the manual.
