pull the drive, then unbolt the bellhousing from the transom plate, then undo the lag bolts in the motor mounts.

you need to pull the drive anyway to realign. might as well pull the drive now and save yourself about 2 hours pulling the motor.

Stringer mount or transom mount?

87 would be a Cobra........86 (&1/2) was the first year for them......
