I’m installing a running takeout QSC 540 into my boat and found the dimensions I used to set up the engine beds to be off it seems. Dropped the motor into the boat last night and had to set it on blocks as the front beds seemed way too low. There seem to be spacers between the engine bracket, this a factory part as I plan to take them out. Two, I see an arrow pointing up on the mount but it would be beneficial for me to flip these upside down. I did a search to look for photos of QSC front mounts and found a photo from this site showing them installed upside down so I wanted to ask about this practice here. I can’t imagine a strength issue doing this. I’ve seen two different styles in pictures as well. Is this a model year variation? I have photos of mine and one from your site found through a google search

The spacers can be removed and the brackets flipped over or even modified.. 90+ % of all QSC’s & QSL9’s we mount need something different than what comes from the factory as a “one-size” seems to never fis all.. Use at least 9.8 grade bolts and double check the 4 x 12mm bolts that hold the cradle to the block.

Those mount brackets seem to be upside down to my eye. If you flip them it will get you much closer!
