Well Skools it was stuck to the lower about as ba as to the powerhead but with more room to work I was able to go to town with the BFH and beat it into submission...
I spent Saturday afternoon pulling the motor off of the boat in pieces. It was cold and windy but I now have everything in my garage where the kerosene heater at least makes it comfortable...
I tore everything below the powerhead apart and found a broken motor mount...
and a broken tuner...
I found someone online who has a used exhaust adapter and some other parts, waiting to hear back with a price. Here are a couple of pictures of the shift rod that started the whole project...
It may have lasted another season or two or it might have outlasted the motor but the omen of the thing breaking was more than I wanted to deal with.
I'm going to try to repaint everything and hopefully have it all fresh n' minty for spring.
