Has anyone changed the outdrive boot and is it a DIY'er job or one best

Scroll to the bottom and click on index. This guy writes up his trials and

Thanks, and I did notice it was not an easy procedure. It is one i

Reggie, bring the damn boat up here. We'll put it in the driveway, mess
with it for a couple days, and *then* take it to the shop. Hell, we may
accidentally get it fixed and not even need the shop!

It would cost me at least a $1000 to get it up there.
