I have gotten into an argument with my local workshop regarding work hours, so I would really appreciate if there´s anyone that can give me an honest estimation under the following starting conditions:
- Boat´s on dry land in the shop
- Sterndrive is off
- Enging hatch is off and out of the way
- Nothing´s stuck (bolts etc.)
- Single engine 6.2 MPI= good workspace in the engine compartment
What would it take to remove the engine and put it down on a freight pallet (no fastening), including:
- Exhaust pipes
- 4 engine mount bolts
- Fuel hose
- Water hose
- Remove shiftplate (3-4 bolts)
- Main electrical contact
- Mercathode wires
- (forgetting anything?)
Not taking in account if anything´s stuck, just a standard job like you´ve done it countless times. You've got a big brand new tractor with the right tools/accessories on it for the job and good workspace around (and you´re a certified Mercruiser shop ).
Please leave a comment if you've done a similar job or just guessing (that's fine).
