So assuming I remove the motor, how important is it that I take it to a marine mechanic rather than a shop that does truck/industrial motors? I've been doing some preliminary research and there are lots of good shops in my area but very few that specialize in marine. Suppose I could ship it off, but don't mind doing some of the simple hands-on work myself.

Keep it coming!
Little over 1,000 Km (11 hours) from London, ON to T & S marine in Crisfield, MD. Put the engine on a pallet; in a small enclosed trailer; hook it to the family land cruiser; grab the wife and take her to Florida (by way of Crisfield) for 2 weeks. Pick it up on the way home.

What's not to like?
