Yesterday I mounted my 1961 45hp Merc to the transom on the 14ft Glen L boat that I am building. After cutting the transom down to allow the cavation plate to be even with the bottom everything looked great. Then I looked at it from the side and noticed that in the down position the motor did not tilt back at the same angle as the transom. Upon further inspection I found that the motor would not tilt forward towards the transom because something wont allow the tilt pin to line up with the first hole in the stern brackets. Not sure if pic loaded or not.
