Just an update...got the motor out Sunday took a whole 2 hours and a skid steer. Not to bad hopfully it doesn't become a habit haha. I ordered the oil pan, valve cover gases, engine gasket kit that came from I boats and will be looking at the water pump as I pull it to replace the gasket. I did notice the baffels on the exhaust are almost completely gone so I will either replace the baffels if possible or the whole exhaust y pipe. I'm glad I ordered the whole transo,mrebuild kit bc the exhaust bellow has holes all in it and I haven't really looked at the others yet. Unfortunately I realized after I removed the out drive I completely forgot to put it in forward. It came right off and really easy so I'm hoping that nothing got messed up. I'm guessing since everything is out I should go ahead and finish everything I've started. Any advice on the outcries part. And thanks for everyone's advice so far.
