if you look by the upper motor mount you can see the shaft. and it looks bad! I sprayed some PB blaster in it and am letting it sit. going to bring a torch tomorrow and try if the PB doesnt work (wash the pb off first). slowly but surely i guess. i just hope i font have to change the spines in anything.

if you heat it with a torch your gonna have to pull the powerhead and change the lower crank seals.....they are gonna melt when you apply heat.....
also....just throwing this out there.....are you 100% sure you got all of the bolts out of the gearcase? i have seen guys trying for days to get a case down only to find they missed the bolt under the zinc or something silly like that....

I have to pull the powerhead anyways, i broke the gasket between the mid and the powerhead. all the bolts are out. the lower unit is loose. there are 6 bolts and a screw on the V8 lowers. 4 on the outside, 2 under the cavitation plate, and the shift screw. I wish it was one of those retard moments tho lol

Would you run a Jackplate offshore? Or would it be better to just use it for testing prop height, then getting a bracket made to the same setback and height?
