I think I had a VP drive similar to that one a few decades ago. The tilt was not hydraulic but some shaft that turned or moved. Was not a fan of that method of tilting the outdrive.
No where does it explain how to remove the sterndrive. There is an explanation for the 250/270. Alas Youtube neither has any AQ100 drive removal media. I have attached pics for this purpose. Any advice on how to get drive off properly?
Looks like the very early aquamatic model. Was a couple of terms for them. 100’s might be one of them. But there was one before or called something else too.
