    I have a 1987 imperial with a Volvo Penta AQ131/270. I have noticed that there are no motor mounts attaching the motor to the deck?. Does anyone out there know what bolts need to be removed to get the motor out of the boat?? It appears as though the motor hangs off of the transom?? is this normal?? Any help will be appreciated.

    Take out the bolts from the transom. They are in a circle and have lock tabs you need to bend back to release them. The outdrive needs to be removed first.

    Motor Mounts

    Thank You for your reply, I kind of figured that was the deal. I cannot believe that the entire motor just hangs off the transom???? That is amazing to me.

    Thank again
