I received a factory built motor mount for a Lycoming engine.
Upon initial fitting I noticed almost a 2 inch offset to the right.
Called the factory and was told, "yes, this is correct, it's built in for "P" factor.
To my untrained eye, it seems excessive.
This is a Zenith Cruzer with a 150 hp Lyc install.
I tend to think the factory, with it's engineering expertise, is correct - but I am concerned.
Opinions?
