Some folks are successful "peening" the lip over by hand, some make their own tool to do the job, there's a pic/drawing on here somewhere of it. There is a specialty tool available to do the job, I had three to do so I choose that route Charlie.

How about a pic? I had a '74 Manatee with a 115 hp Evinrude. Boy, would that baby ever scoot, but it drank a prodigious amount of petrol doing it!

By the way, I did what Mark suggests, but I had 5 of them to do...
