I found the biggest problem in changing mine on the water was getting the damn inlet/outlet hoses off. Just no room to work the hoses to the housing loose otherwise it would be a snap.
Anyone ever splice their hoses back a foot or so from the housing to where you could easily remove them? Thinking of doing this over the winter if I can.

Heres what I do on my twin Bravo Mark 4's. Remove the suction hose from the elbow fitting at the transom plate. Tie a pice of line to the end of the hose. Now unbolt the pump bracket from the engine, lower the pump and pul it forward enough to get at the discharge hose. Remove the discharge hose and pull the whole mess out. Disconnect the line from the suction hose. Repair as needed and reverse. Use the piece of line to pull the suction hose back to the transom assembly as you get the pump in position.
