thanks for providing a picture of your actual motor mount. Can you take a picture of the mount as it is attached to your boat with the motor on it?

Won't be attached for a few weeks at earliest. Was there something you were looking for or would see better when its on the boat? It does look orientated correctly, right? I'm starting to wonder about these mounts. I never thought it would be so complicated of an issue, haha. It seems like it should work well now, but guess I wont know till I actually try it in action.

Boat mode is when you're lovin life on your boat and everyone is your friend and life feels free and right and fun.

Right on!!

Just curious for a point of clarification of what you're trying to do. I have attached outboard motors to various boats from time to time mostly for fishing and water skiing and I know that you want the prop perpendicular to the level of the water when attached to the motor mount. My eyes are old and changing so maybe it's just me but it looks like you're trying to lift the stern of the boat out of the water with the prop if you leave it set up like it shown in the picture you took.
