Default Standard time to remove/install 502's

I would like to know the standard time to remove and replace a 502 engine from a Fountain. There are 2 of them in the boat!

Pulling the motors is generally pretty quick...its getting everything disconnectd thats slow and removing the hatch if needed. If yours has the scissor hatch you should be ok. I have never pulled motors on a fountain but have pulled twins on several other boats and it usually takes about 4-6 hours the first time around. First motor is much harder than the second.

i woul say a day your first time. It all depends on what kind of lift you got and how many buddies. OTher than that its motor mounts and un-plugging everything. I would figure on a good saturday first time.
