I'm back to work on my steering. I have a hoist from a friend. It's almost at full height just to get above the flywheel, so I hope if has the strength. It should since at that length it's supposed to be 1/2 ton and my engine weighs 450 lbs.
My question now is whether there's enough room with all the equipment still attached to pull the engine away from the boat and get those rods out of the steering tubes.
The wires and hoses are sheathed in a netted wrapping that gives me about 14 inches of play. The gas line also has about that much play. Do I just leave all that attached and pull the engine away as best I can?
