Have Mercruiser Alpha One drive and have gotten all of the other locknuts and screws off except starboard side nut. It seems to be stuck and its starting to strip since you can't fully get wrench behind it. Any suggestions? If I had to cut it off, could it be replaced once I got the unit off?

cut it...then heat the stub and work it out with vise grips...Ask your dealer for the procedure. Corrosion welds it tight...need Oxy/Act heat
