Motor / Drive Removal ?

[Wildey]

Hi folks, I need a little guidance here.
This 71 SlickCraft, OMC arrangement. 1966, V6.
What is the SOP, step by step to remove the motor and the drive ? (aside from hoses/wiring)
Doesn't look like it will come out in one piece.
Thanks for some direction.

side note: I never realized the mounting has nothing to do with the transom, its all on the floor ! . (only dealt with outboards ... till this)

finish removing the rest of the drive - the upper is still on. take the trunion caps off.

pull the 16 screws on the boot, push teh boot into the transom hole

remove the 8 lag bolts holding the front and rear motor mount assemblies into the boat

pull the motor and intermediate housing as an assembly

BTW, its covered in the OMC manuals

Check, check, check and check.
No manuals here ..... Just this great forum ! (smile)
Just a one time deal, not likely to ever see another one like it.
If by chance I do, I'll likely RUUUUNNNNNNNN ! ! ! ! !
Thanks again Scott ... and EVERYONE else for their input.

Had to free up the tilt clutch to get the upper off, then it came right out.
Dang shame I tore it all apart, all the wood was solid ... and in good shape !

Thanks again folks !
