Read my post again. What I said was I let the 5200 dry, THEN hang the engine. That way you get the sealing of the 5200, without the headaches it you need to repower. Unless you damage the threads on a bolt, the stainless bolts will last longer than the boat usually. This is a one and done solution.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
