[OMC-Boats] Separating Engine from stern drive

Get a Seloc Manual and follow the instructions. It is not hard if you have
the tools like an engine lift and stand. Take off some of the front parts
like water pump to give you some room. You can take off the exhaust
manifolds too. I would take the 6 bolts off the intermediate housing and
pull the engine forward several inches till it disengages and then lift up.
It is nice to have some angle on the motor to have extra clearance but the
hole is plenty big. Use towels or other pads around the bilge in case things
get out of control. That foam on the sides is delicate. Dont forget to
unplug stuff like wires, gas line and throttle cable. Have fun. TK
