I was in the process of rebuilding a ocean pro 115, but have decidede that i needed an extra long shaft( 25") instead of the long shaft. so I bought a midestion and lower unit off the old codger i deal with at the marine store... it still has the blown power head on it. He wants the power head back , because of all the sellable parts on it. I traded him a rebuilt lower unit 20" and $100 for his midsection, TNT,stern bracket assy, cowl and lower unit. so all i have to do after i rebuild my power head( already in process) is drop it onto his "motor"...easy peasy..maybe
the question....will it be a nightmare trying to pop the power head with the driveshaft and lower unit still in place??
or should i drop the lower unit, then pull the power head? i have removed the power head i am in the process of rebuilding after i dropped its lower unit...so thats a known for me... this other way is an unknown.....I know the weight of the LU helps pull the drive shaft out of the crank....
just looking for any advice one way or the nother
thanks
