Thanks for the advice. I am not afraid to tackle new projects and this doesn't seem to be over complicated. I just need to know what I need to know beforehand. I was at the boat last weekend and started working on it. So far I disconnected the shaft and pulled it back a few inches. The bolts came loose easily so that was good. I then checked to see if all the bolts holding the transmission would come loose without a fight and all is good. Didn't go any further for now.

A couple of questions. The transmission is in 2 parts. The rear part must be what is called the gearbox right? Should I remove that first or should I leave it attached to the transmission? Would make things a lot easier if I could remove it first.

Second question: any idea how heavy is the transmission?

Last question: when I remove the last bolt from the transmission, do I need to have some kind of support system to prevent it from falling?
