[OMC-Boats] OMC boats - separating engine from outdrive

Leo --
My first step when venturing into that unknown, 10 years ago now, was buying this (I think it's the correct one for you):
http://www.amazon.com/Stern-Drive-Shop-Manual-1964-1986/dp/0892873981/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271693076&sr=8-6
You'll never want for knowledge again. Parts, yes, but not knowledge.

Aside from that, I'm sure someone will be happy to type out the basic steps. I will later today if I get a chance.
