Upper swivel bushing large

Water hose

Outdrive oil line int/ext and clamps
Transom seal
Transom seal sealant???
Thru transom bolts/studs
Outdrive seal kit

Lower exh pipe gasket
Bellows installation tool
Lower shift cable?
Ground cables/screws

I already have :
red loc-tite
bellows adhesive
spline greese

Add 4ea hinge pin bushings

One complete reman transom assembly,
if I'm not mistaken its not much more than the parts you have listed never mind your time

I'm currently at $1607 for the parts to rebuild both sides (including the special tools I don't have).
I quick search shows rebuilt transom assemblies at $1700/ea.
Unless I forgetting something major, looks like less than half.

Replacing the transom assemblies isn't that much less work.
Still gotta pull the engs, drives, old transom assemblies and prep the surfaces.
I'm figuring I can complete the bellows, bushings, water and oil lines in abt 4 hrs/side as long as I don't run out of beer!
