I might confuse the topic here but on modern Boston Whalers the 3 digit ones like 170, 150, 210, etc. shouldn't we expect Boston Whaler to know where to mount these Outboards. I'm talking about the Mercuries as that is the 'standard' power that they put on.
Bottom line should I check where my Merc sits in comparison to the keel or should I assume the engineers at Boston Whaler and Mercury know what they are doing and leave it as it came from the factory?
