[C320-list] Motor mounts

[John Meyers]

Ted.

The reason the boat should be in the water is that the hull, which can flex
ever so sightly while out of the water, is in the shape when the engine is
turning the prop shaft. The alignment is done only by moving the or or more
of the engine mounts up or down.
