Every engine we ever came across that had those things on them we took them off.
I'd say 90% of the time most of the problems can be fixed without them by proper weight balance in the boat and correct engine height.
Why don't they come on engines to begin with?
Remember, loosen the bottom bolts. Don't remove them.
Just enough to let the engine slide on the transom.
