Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I'm ordering a manual, but it looks fairly easy to get the engine loose to pull it. does anything bolt the engine to the outdrive? It looks like only the OD shaft re4aches the engine.
Remove the six nuts and trim rams and drive just slides off. You will need a gasket kit to reinstall. Grease splines and u-joints with marine grease before re-installation.<br /><br />Hint..Put in forward gear before removal. Drive nutsDriveshaftGaskets
