I have my engine and outdrive torn off of my boat right now and I am about to start to put it all back together. If anyone needs any close up pics or any short videos of something please chime in. Im starting tomorrow afternoon...

If it isn't a burden i would like one of you putting your drive back on.. if you have the upper and lower split I could use one of putting them back together.

Heck if you are going to be checking your alignment..that couldn't hurt either.

I'm not brave enough to ever pull my engine... so i don't need anything there.

If you'd rather just put it back together and be done with it and not vidoe..thats fine, I understand!

It wouldn't be a bad idea to make one of the process of leveling the engine on it's mount and then installing the gimble bearing,gaskets and aligning the bearing with the alignment bad and then installng the outdrive these are issues that constantly arrise in this forum and many questions could be answered in video which makes for a beter understanding of the processes. Heck if it's good enough the DON could add it to the stickies. Just imagine how many this would help in the long run!!!!!!!

My engine and outdrive are in the same state as yours so I would be pumped to see the ENTIRE process in action!!!! Beginning to end!

Sometimes the little black and white drawings in the manual has a super green rookie like me quite confused.

Thanks a ton!!

Cheers Alpheus

I could use a video of the alinement and installation of the outdrive and cable adjustments. If you have removed the bellows, a video reinstalling those would be helpful as well. Were you able to get peices of your boat back in the correct spot? Thanks, Steven

I heard that.

I have not removed the bellows and the outdrive is back together. Actually the tech at the marina helped me put it back together. He had this cool jig that made it a snap.

I will make a video of how to install the outdrive and use the alignment tool. I will just have to bleep out all of the swear words, because thats what I was doing when I put it on the first time...
