2 motor mounts swapped. 2 to go. The front ones were fairly easy. The back ones made me quit at 10:00.
At this point the best solution seems to be to get the new motor mounts under the motor. Square them up and get the port / starboard bias out of the alignment so that the A4 is true with shaft log and strut. My gut says this will happen with some careful work aligning new mounts with old holes.
This thing was right once from the plant surely so IF I can get things to line up I'll wax the lag bolts and then shoot the stripped holes with some thickened West Systems prior to spinning in the lag bolts. The goal is tighten it all up but leave it where the bolts can come back out if necessary.
Did someone ever say a C27 was a hard boat to work on? If not let me be the first. Thank goodness for comfy quarter-berth upholstery.
