You could cut a very large hole in the transom to get to it.

THAT WHAT I WAS THINKING, BUT THEN WHAT WILL YOU CHARGE ME TO FIX THE HOLE

Thanks Pat

I have seen it done in the boat. Take the drive off. Put a chain hoist on the motor (or let it hang on the front motor mounts, better with the chain hoist) take off the bell housing and change the coupler.

It ain't pretty and it ain't easy but it can be done if you absolutely don't want to pull the motor. By the time you get down to the coupler there aren't too many more connections that need to be disconnected to pull the motor.

Also saw a transom assembly changed without pulling the motor. Too much for me but it can be done.
