My concern with doing it the other way was that if I were to screw it up, then I would have to pull the engine anyways AND buy another transom assembly!!!

I really think Merc. should have designed an access panel in the front. It wouldn't have been hard to do. When you consider the design and maintainence it is a no brainer. This is a repair trick that I actually would consider an upgrade if it is done right. In the future you can do most maintainence to the tranom without pulling the engine.
