EDIT: After some reading some on the net I have decided that this one is well beyond me. Read my question for a laugh if ya like but I have decided not to even try this one.
Thanks
Sarah
I was told y'day that my shift cable boot and my water intake hose both need changing. (sorry if I am not using correct terms here - but I bet you guys know what I mean?
) I was told that the parts are inexpensive but that the labor is not, that the entire outdrive needs to come off - GASP.
I'm toying with the idea of trying this myself cuz the repair will run about $600.
Please don't laugh.....
Necessity makes one do things they normally would not consider. This is quite possibly one of them.
Now I am not going to ask HOW to do it - I will buy a manual. But I do have a cpl questions while I think this one thru & try to decide.
My boat info is in my sig.......
- is there heavy lifting involved? I fear the answer is YES,,,that is a show-stopper
- will there be a lot of parts, especially small parts, taken off and laying around? No garage at my place, working under the sun on grass or gravel driveway
- any special tools or equipment needed? I have basic stuff, including a big hammer
- difficulty factor? Anything over about a 7 and I completely forget the notion of entertaining the option
Thanks for any insight, but pls don't trouble yourselves with too much effort in a reply. This prob won't happen but it's worth checking into.
Thanks!

PS - SPLASH in 4 days,,,,,,repair will come in a few weeks as failure is not expected right away. Yea, right!
Thanks
