[C320-list] Engine alignment

[Chuck and Kathy]

I spent several hours yesterday aligning my engine and shaft, but found that
I could not move the front of the engine far enough to port to get proper
alignment.  The slots in the front motor mounts are bottomed out and there
is still a lot of horizontal misalignment.   And I can't move the rear motor
mounts to starboard and still get the shaft to align.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  It seems like the shaft is angled to
port.  If I drill new holes for the motor mounts, is there a backer
underneath the fiberglass that I can tap into?  Thanks for any suggestions
