Hello Everyone,
I am new on the forum, also new to working on boats. I have ample knowledge on cars and truck engine and trans works along with all other car issues. Here is the details on the boat and project i am planing to do any help or guidance would be greatly appropriated.
1983 Searay with Mercury MerCruiser Sterndrive engine MCM 228 5.0 L
I need to pull the engine out to replace flywheel and starter. I have all area cleared and ready for engine to be pulled out have 2 ton hoist on site.
I need help in following. Once the engine is ready to be lifted with 4 bolts i ma planning to remove the sterndrive. Do i need to do anything prior to removing the drive?
Once the engine is out anything i need to be careful about changing the flywheel ?
I am familiar on changing flywheels on cars.
Also once the replacement is done i do understand i need to use the tool to align the engine correctly. Any advise on which tool to order from eBay ?
Do i need to change any seals or gaskets prior to installing back the driveshaft ?
If there is any step by step info on removal of engine it would be great.
Thanks in Advance.
