    I have a 1983 bayliner montery.. Before I purchased it it was repowered with I belive a 1992 duo prop.. I am having trouble removing the helmet bushing to take the top of the outdrive off. It has 2 8mm hex bolts that have been removed but the bushing is still in place and will not budge.. Does it turn or should it just lift out ect... HELP:confused:

    pour boiling water on housing and try drift out with socket from a socket set. just gently cos I,ve no idea whether its pressed in
    try searching exploded view on net, I,ve installed a few but cant remember this detail
    alluminium expands to its max at low temps, so gentle heat from oxy acetylene will do it too,
