So how many times have us mechanics heard of or had one of those, "the gearhousing won't drop off" problems when the driveshaft rust's into the crankshaft. Well I'm trying something different with one currently at the shop. 225 Ocean Pro with a blown lower unit. Wedged it down about a half inch and using a sawzall, cut thru the waterpump housing just between the wear plate and impeller and thru the drive shaft. I figure it beats cutting thu the exhaust housing then the shaft. This week I'll pull the powerhead and the top part of the driveshaft out and see how it goes then. I'll keep everyone informed of the progress.
BTY, only took about and hour and three blades to drop the unit.
