pulling engine

[snowaczyk]

I am trying to pull my 2.5 liter engine and it is separated about 1 inch but I cannot get it to separate any further. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? The Seloc manual says to move the engine 6 inches forward then it should come out but like I said, I can only move it forward about an inch?

What boat is the engine in? You might want to ask over on the engines forum.

Does this have an outdrive? Did you remove the outdrive first?

Its in a 16 ft starcraft. I did not pull the out drive first because the Seloc manual indicated that I would not have to first?

I cant remember detais, but I had both of my 140's in and out and had to pull the outdrives!
One reason is alignment.
If you put the engine back in, then try to put teh outdrive shaft into the coupling and they dont line up, you need an alignment shaft.
I still have mine, along with some other stuff.
