I assume you are talking about C in the pic in this thread ?

Mercruiser rear engine mount problems

Changed out engine coupler, putting engine back and the rear bolts don't seem to want to start to thread into the transom mount. I had the exhaust boots lined up, and dropped it on down slowly and got them to plop on. Front mounts were still not down on the stringer, so went down a little...

if you have the older style with the springs that is a different animal but as mentioned above helps folks to know what you are working on

Also as BT suggested loosen the front mount - easier if you have crows foot socket to adjust (depending on engine compartment)
