How do you mount the ski tow on the engine with an HEI distributer in the way?http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/1866boat0004.jpg

:rolleyes:
no seriouly - can ya get a better pic of the clearence problem - if it is on the side - and you just need a little ( little being the key ) spread it - you will have to be the eyes here as i can not see your situation - hyd jacks work will - porta powers - two buddy's with chain and four wheel drives ( ok the last one is a joke ) :eek!: if all bolt holes are facing the same direction - put spacers and longer bolts to raise the whole thing - if all else fails - cut and weld - orrrrrrr visit rex marine and get a transom mount . I like the block mounts better those are my not seeing it options and this is just a general ! every application is different - just get drunk and stare at it - you will figure it out :p later chris

Looks to me like wher you are putting it is in the wrong place... Kind of hard to tell by the pictures... It should come off the two top bolts on the bell housing ( for the lower mounts ) and the top mountsd should go into the bossed hole on each head in the back....this ski tow mounts on the block and heads in a vertical relation... in other words it goes on the back of the block and heads , not the top of the block and heads.Get it?http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/766DSC01502-med.JPG
