I totally disagree with the statement about a motor beung designed to run in any bolt hole position. Boat transoms are not all the same, that's why they have more than one set of holes. You must maintain a minimum of 12 pounds of water pressure or you will damage your engine. I suggest you do two things.

1. Call Express and ask them the proper engine heigth and prop for your boat.

2. Call Mercury and ask them what the minimum water pressure should be without blowing your engine.

A new Mercury 90HP powerhead is $3500.00 so don't take chances. A water pressure gauge is about $45.
