    2 quick questions

    First, when did Ranger stop putting wood in their transoms?
    Second, what is the ft/lbs that the motor mount nuts should be torqued to? If it matters, my motor is a 175 EFI.

    What I’ve seen most commonly reported on mounting engine to transom is 50-55 pounds, Corey.

    Thanks for the info. Figured while I was using the torque wrench finishing up replacing my leaf springs I might as well torque the nuts on the motor mount bolts as well.
