    Hey guys, im mid process here, need a bit of help. I took the nuts off to the mounts that hold the motor to the boat, the bolts still dont come out though, and when i try to turn them they're fairly tight. Is there something i dont know about mounts?
    Here is some pics

    Dont take my advice, but have you tried lifting the motor a red hair and releiving s/p some of the pressure on the bolt?? Once that is done, hit it with a bigger hammer.

    Dumb question but do you have a hoist supporting the weight of the engine. Try raising and lowering the engine a little at a time till you feel the bolts get loose then they should slid right out. Easy with the hammer Tim Taylor. Work smarter not harder.

    Have you tried getting really pissed, yelling a lot of swear words, throwing the hammer across the garage and then just taking a sawzall to the stringer? :crossx:

    If you have a impact gun at the same time as the engine is supported, just hit the bolts, they should break free. Then you can zip them out. No hammers !!!

    Leave those bolts in and seperate the engine from the elbows instead of the elbows from the stringers. Same deal with relieving pressure, but you won't elongate the holes in the stringer, or scrap off any protection that may have been applied to the stringer holes originally. It can also help in realignment. If you are doing major inside work to the hull, disregard this message..........MP
