SOS on Maui ( merc engine alignment)

[kalikiano]

Aloha everyone, I changed my 350 and took my out drive and cant get it back in. It seems the rear mounts are high maybe I put the washers on wrong . Can any one tell me the easiest way to realign engine. And what is the correct way the washers go on. I am suposed to be in a fishing tournement in a week on Lanai . Much Mahalos
