Re: how to remove my motor

The first and BEST thing you should do is go up to the Adults only sticky at the top of this forum, and download the engine and drive manuals for your setup.
there are detailed sections in both for removal and installation.
Yes, the drive has to come off first, and no, it's not that hard to do. Usually about a 10 to 15 minute job for the drive. Looks like the engine will be fairly easy also. Not sure from the picture about clearance in the back.
