I just bought an SBT engine alignment tool and it's very simple to use. When I send it through the plate from the rear it touches the bottom of the through Holland is not centered. By the time it reaches the engine its 1/4 inch too low. I checked and re-checked to see if the alignment plate was not seated properly and it absolutely is. Looking at the parts manual I see there is a 10 mm washer (#4 in photo) for the pump support to be used only on top two bolts. It looks like it's supposed to be between the hull and support ( kind of like a shim?). I haven't removed the support yet and don't know if previous owner did. I feel like that washer there would solve my problem. Any one run into this? Weird that the engine needs to go lower ( I already tried to remove the shims under rear mounts between hull and spacers) but did nothing and I'm hesitant to leave them out. I know previous owner had engine out and did other work..... Thought I was going to be water testing this weekend but now I'm dead in the water lol. Thank you all!
