[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 339234, member: 10"] You should be able to disconnect everything - DO NOT cut any wires, use the disconnects as was stated above. I am against painting an aluminum boat - nothing harmful about it but just seems like my time could be better spent elsewhere. The beauty about a tin boat is that you do not need to paint them for protection - it is only for aesthetic reasons. But if you must - TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE REMOVAL PROCESS - it might seem simple (and it is) but a few good photos can make reassembly a breeze BTW - that engine is fairly heavy so you will likely need to use an engine lift of some other mechanic method to pull it and then store it [/QUOTE]
