I'm attempting to remove the engine (mercruiser 4.3l) from my 2006 bayliner. I have the repair manual, and the last step before i hoist the engine out is to disconnect the propeller shaft coupler at the transmission output flange. Can you help describe how to do this? I cant see where they are join together but it looks like they are splined, and just connect that way could that be possible, or am i not seeing something?

sounds like you have the wrong manual - those terms are for inboard engines

yours is an inboard/outboard boat aka sterndrive.

and yeah, you need to remove the outdrive.
