What's the problem? Just hold it up with your left hand while drill the new hole and put the bolts in with your right hand.

I'd have to park it under a tree, drop a line around the engine and adjust it accordingly. If the budget is tight or you're just determined to DIY.

Ok, I think I will leave the motor at the same height and just had some aluminum strips as backing support to the lower bolts. I still have to remove the motor to replace the wood in the transom so right now I think I will get the electric hoist and mount it in my garage. A cherry picker would work but storing it is not desired. Now, do I buy an engine stand or build one.

I have a 440/880 pound rated electric hoist mounted to some strut on the ceiling of my garage.

A heavy duty ratchet strap, looped across a 2x4 laid crossways above the rafters, will easily lift that 30hp. Don't need anything fancy.
