shoot, do ya know what pump you have yet? is it a 12jc or 12je?it says it on top of the pump on the inside of the transom. if it's a 12je there's a clamp that holds the "bellhousing" to the pump. it attaches with two 9/16 bolts that come from the bottom up. loosen them off and slide the motor forward to slip off the slip yoke of the pump.if it's a 12jc just take the bellhousing bolts loose and slide motor forward a bit.

I's a JE. The two 9/16 bolts are on the top. Once the're out, the bell-housing and u-joint remains on the engine ,right?

yeah, you can just let the shaft hang and leave the bell housin on till you got the motor away from the boat.why did you decide to pull it for?

[Taylorman]

Yes, unbolt the two bolts on the bellhousing. Pull out the u shaped clamp on the bottom of the bearing housing. Then hook the engine to a hoist, unbolt the two front mounts, push the engine forward to get the driveshaft off the pump shaft and lift out of the boat. If the engine has not been out in a while it will take some encouraging to get the driveshaft off the pump shaft. Put some grease on it when you put it back on.

This boat needs to be really gone thru. It's been used, but not used-up. I'm going to strip the hull and try to re-paint it myself. I want to pull the underside of the deck, I don't like the flotation. The boat is ridding real wet and seems to list a little left. I don't have a drain hole from the second floor to the bildge. How can you tell if it's holding water?

How many rpm's should this 455 be turning with a 750Holly? What does a good engine turn?

if the floor is rotten, it's holding water in the foam under the floor.i pulled out the bow foam to lighten it up,there wasn't any water in that foam just the floor stuff.you can buy a shoe and ride plate kit from duane htp that will help get the hull alot more "dry" and will make it plane in half the time.the kit gave me @6-8mph too.well worth the dough!!since my floor is hollow, i built in a drain plug hole that exists into my bilge.thata way you can drain it periodically and use a common drain plug to plug it off.

It's out. No problem with the shaft. The motor is really clean on the inside,valley and oil-pan. The oil was blowing out of the rear valley gasket where it meets the intake manifold. Exhaust manifold on both sides leaking bad.tresqwazxc v-098765
