Hi guys! In the process of restoring my 1986 Four Winns 190 cubby.. my next step is to remove the engine, which I plan on having rebuilt locally.
As far as I understand it now, I’ll likely have to remove the outdrive.. and then removing the engine mounts. Then, I also I’ll have to remove exhaust manifold connections and various electrical connections from the boat motor before pulling it out of the boat.
Here he are my questions:
-Is there anything I’m missing as far as disconnecting the motor before attempting to pull the engine?
-I plan on putting the engine on to a crate and then loading it into the back of my truck before delivering it to my local machine shop for rebuilding.. should I build my own engine crate for this process?
-What does the engine machine shop expect me to deliver with the engine on crate? It’s a Chevy or GM 4.3l V6 mercruiser. I assume I give them all the parts to engine I have, including the exhaust manifolds and eclectical connections.
-I’ll likely need to use my air compressed bolt drill to remove the engine mount bolts since they’re hard to reach and likely tightly bound into the boat.
-Is there anything else I’m missing? I remove the outdrive, bellows, and drive shaft where the outdrive connects to the engine shaft. Once this is done, it’s just a matter of disconnecting the electrical equipment and bolts connecting the engine to the boat inside, right?
anyway, thank you guys for helping me work through this. I haven’t found step by step instructions online or through YouTube to appropriately remove an onboard engine from a boat.. so I just want to make sure I’m doing everything correctly so I can deliver the engine to my machine shop in a condition they can easily work with when rebuilding the engine.
That’s where I’m at guys! Let me know if I missed something or if you guys have any helpful tips in this process..
Thank you!!
