I have nursed all the life I can out of my 15 year old tilt tube and need to replace it. The stainless replacement tube is less than $100 and although I've never done this job befoere it seems pretty straightforward, my issue is how to support the weight of the engine. Does anynone have any experience or ideas of how this might be done without a proper engine hoist, which I do not have? 2003 90hp Yamaha 2 stroke. Thanks.
 
I figured the weight of the engine would be putting pressure on the tube and that because of that it couldn't just be pushed (or pounded) out, but Chris you're saying that based on your experience that's not the case, yes?
