    Separate intermediate housing?

    Got a 225 OMC. Can I separate the white part in pic from the blue part? And do it from outside the boat? Outdrive is already removed. I see where the two blue pieces seperate. Can that be done from outside the boat?

    Difference

    I have a1993 Yamaha T9.9elrr kicker on my 1976 slickcraft 22’ boat. It had a 11.75 by 9.25 prop on it. Is a 12 by 9.25 be much difference? . Never run it all out 97% of the time just trolling. If the motor has to work a little harder to troll that would be fine.
