I am working on a 1971 Chris Craft 17 ft Lancer with a Buick 225 V6 engine in it. I need to re-ring and install new Crank/Connecting Rod Bearings. What is the best way to remove the motor from the boat? I have a Volvo Penta AquaMatic 250 Outdrive. The book that I have states to remove the Transmission and engine together. I have removed the 6 bolts from the Outdrive Clamp Ring. I have the Motor mounts disconnected also and all other items connected to the engine. The engine is free and clear of all misc items, (Wires, hoses, etc). I can not get the Bell housing to slide out of the transom shield. Is there a trick to doing this? Also, can I just unbolt the Bell housing from the engine and just remove the Engine itself? k
