I'm trying to mount a jet lower unit on my 1995 40hp 4cyl mercury and need to be able to bolt the lower unit on, but there is a stud where I need to put the bolt. Can I just remove the stud & drill the hole all the way through so I can put a bolt in from the top.
The stud in the way is the rear one in the first picture I need to drop a bolt in from the top to bolt on the lower unit.
This is the hole I need the bolt in, does anyone see a problem with removing the stud & drilling the hole through to the top so I can replace it with a bolt. If so should I use a stainless bolt ? Thanks for any help.
Also this motor will be going on a 16' x 48" bottom modified Vee hull, I would like to be able to run around 25mph or so wide open is it possible ?
