So it looks as if I will be removing the port engine on my Searay 290 DA....
After I pull the drive how involved is this procedure.... I see fuel lines, power steering, risers, etc.... then 2 bolts in the rear, and 2 mounts on the stringers....
The electrical, is that just the one big connector and the grounds? I am just looking for some guidance???
I did a search for a step by step, but nothing found....
Thanks

pretty much...

remove the outdrive, disconnect the throttle cable, unplug the harness, disconnect fuel (and plug line), disconnect exhaust (and sometimes remove from motor), disconnect battery cables and grounds, disconnect water supply hose, unbolt power steering pump with hoses attached and zip tie to somewhere in the bilge out of way, unbolt front and rear mounts, then lift.

No real easy way to describe it.
2 rear bolts
power steering hoses for actuator
water inlet hose
bonding wires at transom and battery cables
post side motor mount lags
fuel line
trim gauge connection
starboard side mount lags
shift cable plate, main harness plug
use the correct lifting eyes on the motor or add them.
