My concern was more with if I have to drain hydraulic fluid, or any special issues with seals, etc. for the removal and reinstallation of the motor.

THanks everyone.

So went to replace the tilt motor, and found out that I had to remove the entire engine from the transom to get to the back fastener on the tilt motor.

So....I decided to have it installed over at the local marina and she's working great now. I didn't realize how quiet these motors can be - my old tilt motor was LOUD compared to the new one.

Marina quoted me 3 hours labor and only took and charged me for (2), so it looks like I found an honest shop to deal with as well.

Good deal!
