Anyone with a 270 - have any pictures of your front motor mounts?

Not that it really matters but just curious - anyone have any pictures of what their front motor mounts look like with the motor installed?

@J3ff - I can snap a picture tomorrow when I'm at the boat.

Thanks man!

This is a photo I took of my fresh water flush valve mod on my V-P motor, so not a good view of the engine mount but you can see it. I is the red bottle-jack looking thing behind the blue flushing port plug. Hope this helps until someone gets to their boat the exact model to yours and takes a good shot!

Any chance you snapped a pic? really want to show it to the mechanic - especially now that it's become clear that didn't bend a tab down that's supposed to lock the lower bolt.

 @J3ff I went back through my pics and found this one. Front starboard side. The tab or tang @reneechris14 mentions is showing I think. A locking tab.

And a nice rubber cover to boot!

Yeah. Sorry it doesn't show the thread count. I'm sure it varies boat to boat anyway.
Edit: actually there is no cover. The pics just a bit blurry and the threads have 20 years of grime on them so looks like a cover. If you enlarge the pic they show.

i'd be interested in the rear engine mounts too if anyone is going to snap a pic for him.
