"I have 1980 800, need to repl
"I have 1980 800, need to replace transom seal. My clymer manual does not have process to replace. What are the steps (assuming I try to move seal over stern unit without disconnecting it)..In looking over prior posts, I attempted to highlight the steps. Can someone review and input where key steps are missing? thanks
1. Unscrew transom screws
2. Remove transom plate
3. Pull back transom seal and clamp is revealed
4. Loosen clamp and pull out seal and cut to pull
out
5. Stretch seal around propeller and lower unit
6. Slide seal under clamp
7. Tighten clamp
What about sealing the seal to the plat and/or plate to the boat? I am sure I am missing some items.
How many hours should this take for novice DIY person like me"
