Good morning all,
I’m new to the boating world. I picked up a 1985 Sylvan deck boat with an OMC stern drive 3.8 (Chevy 229 ci) V6. I need to pull the engine out. My question is, do I need to pull the drive out or can this engine be removed while leaving the complete drive in place? I’ve pulled and rebuilt many car engines over the years but have never pulled a boat engine before. Any help would be appreciated.
