After changing plugs and wires in mine I look like I got into a fight with a racoon..and lost..be prepared for scrapes and bruises..Ive named my boat repeatedly while working on her but nothing the Coast Guard would find appropriate! I have TRS drives so my engines are shoved forward even more than my buddy with his Bravo drives..I have to lay my chest on hard fiberglass back seat upside down to work on em whereas he has a diamond plate platform he can stand on ..spent last season with a permanent bruise across it..and no..towels dont help much..as far as raw water pumps..I didnt find them that difficult..just pull the rear housing and replace the whole unit..IMO should be done every season since winter is brutal on the rubber impeller..dry out easily! The formula is..10 hours of work for every one hour of pleasure but to me part of the fun is doing the work and getting the reward rather than paying someone else..plus I know its done right!
