Re: transome problems

I just changed my 270 shield with a 280T shield. You can follow the whole thread at http://www.forum73.oli.us/nme/index.php/topic,42.20.html
Or you can read about it on my site http://www.supernova19.com/id13.htm
Its down at the bottom of the page.

Last I would think since it been together for a long time. It will take some force to get them apart. Don't be afraid to get out the big crowbar.

The "Transom" in your boat is made out of plywood and fiberglass, and is the back of the boat.
Here is a picture of a boat transom with a hole in it. The "Transom shield" mounts in the hole in the transom and the drive and engine both attach to the transom shield.



So, assuming you mean the "Engine Bellhousing" won't come loose from the transom shield, I have to ask. Did you remove the upper gear box, and remove the 6 bolts holding the clamp ring on? It bolts into the bellhousing.
If you didn't all the crow bars in the world aren't going to help.
Besides there are threaded holes in the clamp ring for seperating the ring from the transom shield, which allows the bellhousing to come loose.
