Thanks for sharing. A few things you forgot to show : 1. Raise the outdrive and remove the speedometer cable. 2. The way you remove the trim rod is a good way to bend one of the trim arms. You need to tighten them together with clamps 3. There is a trick to disconnect the lower after you remove 6 nuts - put a 2x4 wood block on top and lift the lower unit with your boat motor. No need to use your muscles.
By the looks of it, it's good to see that I'm not the only one attempting this for the first time. Makes me wonder why the normal standard manual format doesn't include a "Challenges" section, what else would create motivation to study it? :) More importantly - you gave me an important note to my reminder list, "bring shovel" (as the boat stands on grass in a small hill and without any possibility to lower the front of the boat enough). Kudos for sharing experience!
@@ZachsGarage1 Yes, I´ve watched that one as well but managed to get it off without having to connect the battery again. Also good advice with holding together the trim cylinders - I used some straps.
Thanks for the videos! I will be removing and replacing my 87 ciera 2450s 5.7 engine and outdrive within the next 2 years. I think I'm gonna get a ready to start engine from Michiganmotorz. The outdrive I'm not sure yet. Everything is omc now. Any advice for another Zach? Thank you again
Hey Zach. Learned a lot from your videos. Just pulled prepped primed painted and reinstalling my gen 1. Quick question. Is there a large hand sized o ring that goes around the upper u joint housing? Thanks man keep up the great work.
I have a 2000 Bayliner. It was in bad shape sheen I bought it last summer. I replaced most of the deck. Then had the carb rebuilt and a tune up. I have gear oil leaking out of the water intake on the outdrive. Do you have a video on repairing the oil leak? Thanks
Maybe, might break something if you force it off. Try to get the shift lever visible from the back side of the outdrive as close to straight as possible (as close to forward gear as possible)
I don't have an exclusive video on the re-install, but I do have a video on removing the engine that shows where all the wires are hooked up th-cam.com/video/kxt8I-nV-Lw/w-d-xo.html
@@ZachsGarage1 Zach thanx for the reply ! Is there a tube/hose that connects that fitting to the drive. I have a leak that flows down the shift lever in upper case. Nice job on the boat
*UPDATE! I learned a much easier way to get the outdrive off here: th-cam.com/video/bruGSBLP8HY/w-d-xo.html

So you don’t chip the propeller? You only have a half of your prop left 😂😂 I see you learn from experience! Hahaha, great video thanks for the help
Very good guidance with step by step clear video. Thanks pal.

You might want to look at my 2nd outdrive removal video, I found a really good trick for getting it off th-cam.com/video/bruGSBLP8HY/w-d-xo.html

Very nice video awesome job and I like the narrative very off-the-cuff very nice
Gotta admit, I started laughing at myself at 6:26!
Great instructional video..thanks!

Yes, there is
Thank you sir
Very good video I appreciate it a bunch thanks
Great Job...Ty...
pretty good for a guy who sounds like he's 4 beers in lol
Thanks for the video helped out a lot
Were the U joints shot?
I have a 2000 Bayliner. It was in bad shape sheen I bought it last summer. I replaced most of the deck. Then had the carb rebuilt and a tune up. I have gear oil leaking out of the water intake on the outdrive. Do you have a video on repairing the oil leak? Thanks
Hmmm, oil coming out of the water intake? Maybe oil is leaking through the seal on the shaft where the water pump impeller is?
@@ZachsGarage1 Thanks Zach. I will see what kind of job it will be to repair it.
I got a good laugh! Helpful video
Nice. Very straight forward
I have to deal with I/Os on racks that cant be lower at times.. I take a broom stick and put it just under exhaust boot and give it a few bumps.
Where is your garage located?
I've been working on Mercruiser Outdrive for many years 64 years old shade tree mechanic there is an easier way got a good laugh out of the video
excellent
Brass or copper or a leather hammer for pounding those pins
Thanks man
Not don't worry about shipping it you already got a piece broken off at time to replace the prop
I used prybars and it worked prty good
Found the ultimate hack here: th-cam.com/video/bruGSBLP8HY/w-d-xo.html
Can you remove the outdrive if you cannot put it in forward gear ??? ( Gears are jammed )
Maybe, might break something if you force it off. Try to get the shift lever visible from the back side of the outdrive as close to straight as possible (as close to forward gear as possible)
Do you have it in forward gear when you remove it?
Yes
The prop looks like its chipped already. 😆 lol
That's because it was :P lol
the propeler was biten by a shark
Do i really need to get the outdrive all the way down?
it cant remove if its not all the way down?
you might may be able to still get it off even if it isn't all the way down, but it might be more difficult
What about a reinstall of motor and stern
I don't have an exclusive video on the re-install, but I do have a video on removing the engine that shows where all the wires are hooked up

How does the gear oil attach to the drive
It has a little push plug, so it only opens up when the outdrive is pushed all the way on
@@ZachsGarage1 Zach thanx for the reply ! Is there a tube/hose that connects that fitting to the drive. I have a leak that flows down the shift lever in upper case. Nice job on the boat
@@jcowboy123 there is a hose through the gimbal housing
You take off the propeller so you don't accidentally chip it lol! I think you're well beyond that point!
Why do you sound like Hank Hill
It doesn't seem that you know what your doing|?
lol true at that point! Much easier to get the outdrive off as I later learned in this video: th-cam.com/video/bruGSBLP8HY/w-d-xo.html
