It's only 8 nuts holding on the sterndrive. About 2 hours to do the
work. Buy an upper water pump body kit, Stern drive mounting set,
synthetic gear lube, mutual seal, bellow adhesive, grease for the
u-joints, and 8 new stainless nylock nuts. If the bellows look tired
replace them. If you are having a problem with the shift you might as
well fix it while the drive is off. If you can borrow an engine
allignment tool, do so. Do yourself a favor and buy a genuine
Mercruiser service manual.
