I bet h2o can find the history on your mirage he is good...
And the exhaust for now is staying tuff at times can't shut off in waves water will run straight in heads..
Then have to pull all plugs turn motor over then reinstall and start...But sounds great

Ok almost all the parts I needed I have found with the help of OSO.and good friends.
Now the ice seems like it will never melt ...
Will get more pics soon.Funny working on boat and a freeway of snowmobiles is all I can here from the lake

Dave,
I see you pulled your motors with the drives still on. Do you have the merc trans? I was not aware this was possible. Would give alot more room to negotiate the removal.
Thanks,
Steve

Yes have done this 3 times now removing motor with the drive on and the trans still on motor shaft just falls out a little finesse to reinstall but no problems.
Weather keeps holding progress of getting her back together and in water again

Oh did I say 3 inches of snow last night......

I feel your pain on the weather. Was hoping to get mine off the trailer this week to fix a couple of blisters. Too cold for that.

Found the pilot bearing on eBay of all places just came in mail today going to try and test fire on ground this weekend.
