I'm not sure I posted my first attempt correctly so I am trying again.

I have a 1987 Bayliner with a 5.7L engine with an OMC Cobra stern drive. I need to pull the drive but I cannot get it off. I disconnected the tilt/trim cylinders and removed the six nuts but I can move the drive only about three inches. I cannot figure out what's holding me up. Can anyone help?

That was too simple. All I had to do was pull harder to unseat the shaft. It came right off.

thanks for your suggestion.
