"I am taking on water through
"I am taking on water through the transom shield, I have tried tightening the bolts, does not help, I think the gasket has gone or worse, transom rot.
The question is can I take off the shield without removing the engine?
I thought I could support the bellhousing, take off the six bolts on the shield, then from outside the transom, remove the bolts on the shield (drive leg is off) and pull the shield off.
Any advice would be welcome!"
