4 Pete Sake,
Heck yea, what are you asking for it? Is your front motor mount completely boxed in like mine is? There is only a couple of inches to even try to adjust the motor mount shaft. There has to be a trade secert in leiu of taking the motor loose & lifting it out. 
I've seen a couple of old Galaxie's that has the mount wide open & exposed when you lift the engine cover, but not my 77 V-20. 
I don't see how it's done without cutting a section of the floor out (not doing that) or haveing to remove the engine as stated. Damndest thing. Since I got this boat, I have not had one bit of luck with it...had it almost a year & still havent had it in the water to see if I have any other pending issues. 
I sure hope she's going to be worth all this trouble!! aahhhhh - getting to the point working on this thing, I'd make a sailor blush!!
