[C320-list] Motor Mounts

[Doug Treff]

And obviously you will need to do a proper alignment after such a 
procedure. If your boat is on the hard for the winter, remember that the 
alignment should be done after the boat has been floating for 24 hours. 
So in that case, if you get the mounts replaced over the winter layup, 
remember to have an alignment done after the boat has been in the water 
for a while next spring.
