Very least you should have a manual for your unit, you will have to remove the outdrive,then split it.

I suggest you read it at least 3 times to understand how to do this and understand the manual itself.

Re: stinger water pump

The impeller/pump isn't that hard to get at. You can pull the drive off the boat to make it a little easier if you want, but it can be done with the drive still on the boat. The electric shift stringers are easiest to remove. Just disconnect the shift wires inside the transom, pull off the pivot caps and it's off. Separate the upper and lower gearcases and the pump is in the upper. If you leave the drive on the boat, you will be looking up at the underside of the upper and there's the pump. 4 bolts and it's out.
