Engine swap

[spareparts]

i think the mercruiser manuals ae avaiable on line. Its not a hard job. Biggest mistake I see when swapping engines, most try to swap it like a car motor, you don't have to unbolt it at teh bell housing. Start with pulling the drive, put the gear shifter in fwd, that allows the drive to be pulled off, look for some utube vidoes on pulling the drive. Once the drive is off, pull the two verticle motor mount bolts behind teh bell housing, pull the lags that hold the fwd motor mont to the stringer. DIsconect the hoses and wires, don't forget the ground wire on the back of the bell housing. Rent or buy an alignment shaft when setting the alignment going back in, all in all not a bad job. Check every thing you can look at while yo have it out, check mounting bolts, hoses, seals, bellows and everything else. Good luck
