Got the bilge done and alot of some of the electrical crap I've been wanting to do. I got the trim tabs back on.
I beefed up the truss and installed my vertical braces for the trusses. I lifted the new 350 and set it in the boat. I talked to some boat guys and my old motor was lower in the front than in the rear or level and they tell me mine should be have been level or higher in the front. To get mine level I would have to raise my motor 1 1/2".

Does this seem right to you inbd guys?

If this is right I'm going to have to install blocks between the motor mount and the boat ribs.

Has anyone else added blocks?

You need an alignment tool to see if the front of thengine needs to come up or not. The angle of the engine isn't important, it's wether or not the driveshaft goes into the coupler straight or not that IS important. You need to get an alignment tool and check it, then decide if you need a block or not.

its not uncommon to use blocks, but like Ferm said, its to align the engine with the alignment tool. Do a search for alignment tool, some one on here has one, they might rent it to you. I use mine too often to part with it.
