Yep, now I see it. It blends into the bracket.

Good news is you can raise the engine DIY using the trailer. All you need is a wrench, maybe a rubber mallet and some marine sealant (not adhesive) and a second set of hands to operate the tongue jack.



Great! I have all those tools. I also have 3M marine adhesive and a partial tube of clear sealant, Lifeseal that I use for deck screws, etc.. You will have to explain to me using the "tongue jack". I can get a second pair of hands to help. Are you suggesting trimming in the motor to rest on the ground and then using the jack on the trailer to lower the transom into position to re-bolt the motor?
