Cool

I'm sorry Wellcraftv20step.. Like the others I have totally zero exp with I/O's .. I'll be happy to make a trip and help you if it's needed, but I really can't give you any pointers since I have no experience. And of course the offer to borrow my cherry picker is always open if you need it.

Now thats what i i'm talking about ,thank you Spare. The bell housing was my biggest concern. . Paul i kinda lucked out, the auto shop next door offered to swing the motor for me. How nice was that. I really dont know why i just did'nt ask them in the 1st place. Oh now i remember it's because i'm not to smart !!!! My buddy and i will do the rest.
thanks everyone

with the amount of meds I was on when I typed that, I'm suprised I didn't tell you to cut a hole in hte bottom of hte boat and rop it out thru the bottom

glad you got it figured out. Look on line and pick up a factory manual for your engine and drive, Mercruiser has probably the best written manuals out there, you should be able to get all your answers from it. If you can't figure something out, post up

I haven't swapped a motor, only pulled it up to change the oil pan.

I am not a real mechanic and found that the user manual was fantastic. You should try to find one. Get one for both the motor and outdrive.

I think the hardest part I had was getting the motor aligned with the mounting bolts to the bell housing (I did it all by myself).

Good question.

Well, I ah...I... don't remember...

I think she is supposed to go around 40mph? I think I was a couple MPH behind the "supposeds to go"....

She gets up and planes well. On the ocean I usually do not get to go full speed that much.

sorry,
