looking to repaint my alpha one gen 1 this off season. impeller and bellows were replaced the middle of last year and temps are normally around 155*. thought about pulling the drive before storing the boat underground and keep the outdrive in the garage. my concern is how hard is it to remove? i really don't want to touch the bellows. should i replace the impeller? i probably have 15-20 hours on it since the impeller and bellows were replaced. if the impeller is good then i may just leave everything on and paint the drive this spring. just figured i would have more time this winter if it was in the garage.
if i do remove it the boat will be stored underground. should i just cover the gimble ring in plastic?
