you don`t remove the motor from the drive ,you remove the drive from the motor first.Install the new motor, check engine alignment.Install drive. |

It need to be done that way to set the motor in properly. If the alignment is off, you`ll be pulling the motor again to replace a $300 coupler. |

Is there a picture available showing what is actually between the motor and outdrive,as than I could better understand the coupling,how it works,what it looks like,how everything ties in together.It is a little hard to see everything from inside the boat.Thanks again for your help |

A Mercruiser manual would be a great help. Other manuals would be beneficial. |

dave;
As BD said you remove the drive leg first.
The motor sits on two front mounts as well as two rear lugs that sit on the transom assembly. The latter stays fastened to the boat.
Two bolts at the rear lugs plus the two front mounts and she is able to be hoisted out.
