I plan on documenting the process here. I also would like to sell my 460 OMC and replace with a 454 merc in the whole process. Depends on $$$. King cobra may stay for another season unless I can find a bravo I can afford but first things first.. Rotten transom...
Wish me luck!
Not sure about the KC, but Merc has an exact spec for the overall thickness where the transom assembly is installed. Something like 2 1/4 or 2 3/16 maybe. I think people usually build up the glass over their coring to hit that spec. A few years back they gave a range, now they specify an exact thickness. If you go to the Merc website and find an engine/drive installation guide, it'll be in there. If you can't find one, yell. I have one on my laptop somewhere.
