I need to replace the boots, and possibly some internal drive parts, as I
have a slight leak. How difficult is is to change the boots? Does anyone
know of instructions on how to do this?

It is not that difficult, but you will need some sort of overhead lift or
hoist to hold the outdrive - unless you are superman.....

Pull the outdrive and crawl under the boat and loosen the hose clamps and
remove - putting back on is slightly more difficult. GET A MANUAL !!! When
putting the outdrive back on, make sure you line up the shifter fork - I
have put the outdrive on only to have to take it off again because the
shifter was not lined up...
