I have a 79 searay that came with a 470 that neede to be put in. But the problem i ran into is the motor mounts at the transom are different and the shaft doesnt meet up with the motor. What are my options. Could i swap the inner transom or do i need to sell my fresh rebuilt and buy a different motor. Any help is greatly appreciated.
