I believe you put the shifter in forward then remove the trim rams and the 6 nuts that atatch the outdrive and it comes out. Unbolt the engine and lift it out.

Yes, just slips out.

much easier to pull the drive before pulling the engine. Just put the shifter in fwd, remove the trim cylinder pins Like Ferm said, and remove the 6 mounting nuts
