Engine mounts and changing power steering belt

[joeboo]

I have a 94 Four Winns 170 Horizons with 4 Liter OMC Cobra I/O. The main belt (main drive, and power steering) went. I picked up new belt and went to change it but looks like I have to deal with engine mounts. Marina wants 500 to change the belt and said they have to take the engine out. I hoping there is some way I can do it myself. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

I think the unanimous decision around here will be to forget you even know that marina exists...

You can just block the engine up with pieces of lumber, or carefully place a trolley jack under the port side of the engine to remove that mount.
There are several posts on iboats with pics of folks doing it on 3 Liters

there was never a 4 Liter OMC
