v8 mercruiser removal replacement

[hudman]

Tryint to remove-replace 5.7 l, It looks to me like it would be a lot easeir to premount the y pipe to the transom plate, then drop motor in--is this common practice? thanks for putting up with me guys<br />hud

the Y pipe is already mounted to the transon plate.need to pull the drive, remove exaust clamps,rear mounting bolts, front mounts, cables,wiring ,install lift chain and pull up and out.once reinstalled ,check alignment and install drive
