have a fixer upper need help

I know what you are talking about now, the two holes in the bottom of the bell housing on the motor, they don't bolt to anything, they are there for assembly on the line and crating. You're not the first to question them

Thanks spareparts the guy was an idiot trying to get money for nothing I appreciate the help betting motor in before the hurricane comes

[step up here]

thats correct they don't use those bolt holes located at the bottom of your bell housing in your application.merc uses only the two located about the center of the bell housing.
if you keep your v-20 am sure you will check back to this site because their are a couple of cracker jack mechanics here. that are always willing to share helpful info

Truth is, you lucked into one of the best boats ever built in it's class and size. The fact that it also looks awesome is just gravy. It's got a huge cockpit, great handling. cuts through the seas nicely, and will get you out and more important, will get you back home again. Welcome to the site.
