Matt, I am not sure what you mean by "remove". Are you trying to take it off the boat?

Matty, If your inline motor is like mine, and installed per spec, you should find six 3/8" carriage bolts holding it to the transom. Four of these will be under the trim cylinders, in the trim bracket. You motor may also have transom clamp thumbscrews. You will also need to disconnect the electrical at the motor plug, fuel line at the motor and steering cable at the motor. Now you will need to disconnect the hydraulic lines at the trim cylinders, to complete seperation. If you plan to reinstall the motor, I recommend you unbolt the trim cylinders, and leave them with the boat.

I have a really bad leak in this bayliner i just recently purchased,its a 18' 1987 capri with a 5.0 in it. they said that they hit something on a sand bar, and from what i see i looks like it just pulled away from the port side a little like a 1/16 of an inch, can just tighten the bolts to the outdrive but i have a 5.0 in it and its troublesome to find these bolts?? where are they and how many? can i just tighten them, or should i just red neck it and pump alotta silicon in it? the reason i bought this i thought it was just the bellows, it was partly and i swaped them butnow i filled the hull and it just poured out between the transome and the outdrive? what should i do? could it be the transome seal? is replacing this easy for one guy to perform?

<br /><br />Perhaps you should start a separate thread on that question.
