What do you use to support your outdrive while tightening the big retainers. I have done several reseals using a vise on the skeg but figure one day I may break one off while torqueing that retainer behind the u-joint.
I strap mine to the railing on my front steps.
It keeps it secure so I can torque it down.
It's all I got to work with.
I'd be interested to hear of other techniques.
AllDodge, I could bolt my stand down in the garage. Marc, I could only imagine my wife's reaction to gear lube on the front steps. Hey,it worked, and I do have an iron railing. Thanks all.
