Mine was a very tight fit. I thought for a while that I would have cut the rubber thinner but I finally got installed after loosening the rear motor mount a jacking the transmission a little higher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Float-A-Motor bolt tightness
Tighten so that the biscuit begins to bulge out a little. Don't tighten too much.

Re: Float-A-Motor bolt tightness
The ball may be worn out. Very important component for solid front end and steering. I had to replace mine.

I appreciate your technical post. Too bad the Float-A-Motor company does't provide any information like this. My question is how many turns on left and right sides would you suggest for a 40 hp engine vs 75 hp? Based on the 35 h.p. difference would you tighten the left side 1.06 turns and .40 on the right side or am I way off base? Johnr Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Float-A-Motor bolt tightness
We tried about 1 turn just passed the top metal disk not moving and about 1/2 to 3/4 on the passenger side.. All with new rubber donuts, etc. There is some trial and error, which is made a little easier with nylock nuts. A little firmer may be better to add "drive" support and no engine rocking.
