Here you can see the location of the lifting rings (they are always there on the engine just under a plastic sub-cowling that is fastened with two screws). You can also see where I had some (white) lines running from the rings over to the port side stern cleat to hold the engine slightly to one side so I could get tools in to work (was prophylactically epoxying transom holes). Ignore the red line in the foreground - that has nothing to do with the engine.

This was hard to photograph, but basically the mounting holes had NO sealant or anything protecting the core. What you can see that is light tan is raw, bare (and thankfully, dry) balsa core in the transom. There was a very, *very* slight amount of silicone around the washers (not that I would have wanted more of THAT). Really glad I'm doing this before any water got in - these are the last of the transom holes that are not over-drilled, epoxy filled, and then re-drilled.

Another view of the engine hoisted. The lines going off to port go to the stern cleat on that side and hold engine slightly to port, while I do starboard side holes. Next I'll hold engine slightly to starboard and do port side holes.

Engine hoisted up to do a multi-part project. 1) overdrill/epoxy fill/re-drill mounting holes; 2) Raise engine by two holes (1-1/2"); 3) Add wedges for 5? more tuck (probably); 4)Add aluminum "bar" across between upper mounts on inside of transom (like big washer); 5) Add larger washers on inside of lower holes; 6) Replace stainless coarse-thread fasteners with better grade coated, fine-thread fasteners; 7) Replace silicone (groan) with proper sealant.

Arrow pointing to what I called "Side wake" (on another boat, not mine), but for which I don't know the real term.

Prop I ordered for my 22. Jury is still out on how well suited it will be -- I need to make a few more tests without changing a lot of variables between them.

4300 RPM/16 smph. Can't see Permatrim so it seems I may want to raise engine up. Looks like I can raise it up to two holes' worth, at about 3/4" per hole. Roy/C-Way has same engine/boat and did this with good results.

M-Y Wedge slipped out of place and deformed, not sure why (did work fine for a different 3,000-mile tow). This allowed the motor to come down somewhat, but luckily not all the way as it "wedged" between the tilt cylinder and the transom.
