Ok, operation adapter plate was a success. Didn't take too long and wasn't too hard. I don't have any water in the case and there isn't any exhaust getting in either. The motor sounds great and is running good from what I can tell. You could tell that somebody did the project once before, but didn't use a bottom seal (just a bunch of sealant of some kind) and there was one bolt that had snapped off previously. I think there was enough thread left to make it work, I guess I'll find out soon enough.Thanks for the encouragement, I saved myself about $300 doing it myself and I know that it's done right.
I do have a couple more concerns, but I'll start new threads on them. THANKS AGAIN to everyone that chipped in some advice!
