just looking for a little help. From what I'm gathering this would involve removal of the power head?. Not sure if this is something I'd want to attempt or something I should leave for a trained professional! Any recommendations?

Thanks,pretty sure my upper mounts are shot. There is way to much slop from front to back. Motor rocks close to an inch when boat is on trailer or in the water when not in gear. Seems like it might have been caused by my transom saver, motor tilted down to tight?
