I think that spacer goes on top of the coupler after the motor is in. A spring washer goes where you have the spacer. Should be washer on top of that spacer, then the coupler, then the spring washer. I don't know about the green wire.

thanks fbronco, i did figure that part out. still need to figure out where that green wire gos tho

It might be a 'bonding' wire. Too bad you can't locate a wire diagram for the boat.

Believe it or not, my drain plugs were loose. When I reset them, they had a thru bolted screw/nut. I located a diagram and it was for the bonding wires. Yes, they even bond the drain plugs on boats to prevent galvanic action. Needless to say, I didn't hook them back up. I would have had to pull the motors...which is obviously out of the question. If I remember, the diagram on the 30 listed the bonding wires green. Hope this helps.
