Hi Ally410, im not really seeing the issue here you speak off. looks to me all ok . i too have a ex SES rescue c/console same size but different make (minus the pod) and mine sits the same as yours (55 seapro mercury) on mine so unsure of motor weight, but until i work out how to post pics i cant send you some of mine to compare, Happy to send you some personally , i think i see your battery in the back corner, id start with that moving up forward. good luck
