Thanks

Having never done it before it took me about 1.5 hours. Hardest part was getting the transom plate cover loose (siliconed in place). Now that I've done one I could probably do it in half that time. This is leaving the intake in the hull.

Whoops you said R & R not just R. About the same amount of time to put it back in.

It's been a couple of years and I can't remember .. it wasn't too big of a deal though. I think Squirtcha? is pretty close on the time.

i would have to agree three hours total for a first timer , are you rebuilding it or just replaceing it?

I agree--I'd say between two and three hours to remove, and Squirtcha's right, the most difficult part was the transom plate, just cause it is stuck on so well and you do not want to nick the gelcoat. I could do it much faster this time (but I do not want to do it again!). Good luck.
