Ok I am installing my motor (merc 228) onto a alpha one. I have the motor on the mounts and the bolts in the rear mounts (closest to the transom). I am trying to tighten the bolts and they feel like there just turning and turning. The manual says nothing about a nut or anything under the mount. Am i missing something ? Thank you

Ayuh,... Apparently, yer missing the Nuts...
They sit in a captive cavity, under the mount...
I hold 'em in-place with masking tape...
