Answer
Hi Scottie...Thank you for selecting the undersigned to reply to your question.
I guess the answer can be found in this qquestion: "Why did the wheels fall off the truck?
Did you tighten the bolts to the recommended torque? Maybe not!
Did you insert "lock-tite" or a similar product into each bolt hole?
Has the engine block been replaced? If so, maybe the original bolts were slightly smaller in diameter and vibrated loose.
Is it possible someone could have purposely loosened the bolts?
I could go on and on and on, but I suggest you consult a local marine mechanic whom you can trust, and get his opinion and advice.
