Ok, so far so good...

I'm not using the isolators, and have managed to get the old motor off and
hahve two of the six bolts installed on the new one. What's cool is that
the
old holes match the new ones, so I only need to drill two more holes.
(Break
time right now)

The trick now is to manage to get way up to the nose of the boat with my
extended ratchet and figure a way to get the washer on with the nut. Gonna
try taping it to the socket to see what'll happen. LOL

When I had my Tuffy boat, that's what I did. Sounds silly but it worked.
On one particularly tight spot, I used my 7 year old daughter to get her
skinny little arm up in the right spot under the front mount.

You've still got little kids.....
