Fiber washers
I just dropped my engine back in and I'm bolting up the bellhousing to the transom assembly (Bravo). What are these fiber washers supposed to do. My mechanic gave them to me with a schematic but when I put them in place they just slide up over the tall spacer.

I agree with sschafee on the condition of the double-wowned
(sp?) spring washer. If they are even slightly fatiqued your drive alignment will be off. Had a problem with mine after engine install, put new ones in, perfect alignment.

I used new springs and washers with adhesive. Rocked the engine forward on the mounts and put them in place. It was not as bad as I thought it would be.
