looks like the wood is probably rotted and the washer sunk in. take the motor off and look under, or, when the motor is off pull the bolt out and look at the transom wood.

Looks like it might to me. Did you somehow drop the engine down and hit something while backing in to launch it to do that? Back it too far into the garage? or did it just happen on its own and you just noticed it? Loaned the boat out recently? lol.

Yeah, put a jet in it, BB something, will be better and probably about the same cost after you sell off the Margarita mixer.  >:D

Park it in any parking lots lately? Had a guy run into the jet drive of the Moo once in Bass Pro shops parking lot. I was in the truck at the time and felt it, my bud was in there buying lake passes. I was taking up two spaces so why the old fart was trying to park behind me is still a mystery. No damage, just a tap really, but i still chewed the guy pretty good.
