Ayuh,.... Easy,.... Hang the motor in it's new home, on yer chain, attached to the transom...
Slide yer alignment bar into the gimbel, 'n align the motor....

That's where ya wanta build the motor mount blocks too....

Pull the motor back out, build the blocks, reset, 'n reinstall, 'n realign the motor, 'n it's In...
