I have a 1966 Nauset all restored and I am finding that most new engines have a mounting bolt hole pattern that will not fit on my transom?
The highest top hole will fit but the bottom hole needs to come up high enough to get inside the transom well. If I slide the engine up very high and use the 3rd hole in the top mounting set and get the bottom hole to come up into the well area then the motor is too high out of the water and the cavitation plate location is wrong.
What engines bolt on to a 1966 hull with out any of this non-sense?
I had a 1967 Chrysler on it but after the restoration we filled in all the old holes so it's time to drill for a new engine.
What do people do?
