You should have someone look who knows, my understanding is that a fellow could get thru t himself but the problem that is often encountered is that the powerhead bolts and some other type of bolt are often so badly corroded that it makes the job very tough even for a pro mariner.
Talk with one before you go down that route or wait for some of the more experienced fellows here.

What part of the country are you in? I'm sure somebody from your area can lead you in the right direction.

If I recall I think Monkey Butler has some experience with shift shafts and will maybe chime in...Also if I recall Willy is 100% correct from what I've read that its a real pain to get the power head off to do it and there seems to be no other way to change it without pulling it off.

Hey check out the timeliness of this post over in repairs section:
http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...365#post163365

And that may have been me with the reference last year to a guy named Chris...He's in Washington, NJ. Have used him a couple of times and all seemed ok. He's not a dirt cheap shade tree type guy but his labor rates are less than a marina. -

Cant remember the name of his company but his number is 908-646-4626

BS and I both had to replace are shift rods, BS did his own and had no problems, I had mine done by the guy that sold me the motor and he had it done in one day, at the time it cost me $200 in parts and labore free.

I have heard storys that you can get done from $500 to over $1000 depending on what breaks when taking it apart.

getting that power head off is thge hardest part!

Good Luck!

Also look here, some one else just did it and is happy with the result, and you can fix yourself
