Can someone direct me to a post on removing a 305 and the steps to take? I am sure it's already been posted and covered before. Thanks.

Step 1 remove the outdrive

Step 2 remove wires and hoses

Step 3 leave bell hsg attached

Step 4 remove front mount large nuts

Step 5 remove rear mount bolts that hold bell hsg to transom bracket they a
are screwed in facing down on eaither side of the rear of the bell hsg.
There are 2 of them, don't loose the spacers,springs, or fiber washers
that are back there.

Step 6 pull engine

That is NOT how it should be done.
Would help a lot if you posted what engine and drive you have and what year.

Download the manual from the link below. Then go to section 2D
The whole section is on removal and installation of the engine.
