[QUOTE="WVfishnfool, post: 343277, member: 10364"] Since the motor doesn't have power trim then it should have a reverse lock. There should be a pin that you can put in different positions to adjust the tilt/trim position of the motor when you're running forward. When you shift into reverse a latch should drop and hook to that adjustable pin and keep the engine from bucking up. Also if your going to replace the motor mount bolts it's best to use a stainless fine thread bolt with a brass nyloc nut. They're a little bit more expensive and you'll probably have to find them on-line or from a local marine dealer. They're worth every penny though because the fine thread bolt will not stretch or vibrate loose like the coarse thread will and the brass nut will not gauld like the stainless nut on stainless bolt will. I learned these lessons the hard way a long time ago. It's not a good thing to have a jackplate work loose on a 20' boat runnin a 250hp outboard at close to 80 mph believe me. It'll make you put a stain in your shorts. :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
