Remove Boat Engine

What all is entailed to get the salt water out of my boat engine, and how much could it end up costing me?

If it been sitting more than a couple of day the engine is probably on the back side of saving. Rust has started if it just happened drain the water out and fill complete with oil and diesel fuel till it can be dissembled or repaired. Time is very important.Depends on what let go.Hundreds to thousands.

hi , i think i have to have my prop reconditioned on my boat chipped up pretty bad , how hard is it to remove it? and put back on

If you have an outboard motor, there is a nut that torques to 55ft. lbs. there is a thrust washer after you have removed the prop. I would change that as well while the prop is off. Very small price to pay for the proper thrust. Some of your smaller outdrives does have a pin to remove. Most common I'm familiar with is the nut and locf washer. It takes a 15/16 socket or a prop wrench to remove it. You will have to hold the prop by hand, don't put it in gear to break the nut loose. This could damage the internal gears. Good luck

I have a friend who has an old stern drive SeaRay that he just wants to give to me. The only problem is the engine needs work. Any tips on working on stern drive engines? And will a standard engine hoist be tall enough to pull the motor or will I need to find some way of getting a gantry hoist (really hard to do where the boat will be)?

wikapedia will probably help good luck

i have already cut off 2 fins, tried heating the shaft, no joy, so tried i puller, drilled into the casing, heated it and used th puller, still no joy, any suggestions?

This has happened to a lack of maintenance. At the end of every season you should pull prop off and clean splines and grease them before you put prop back on . Over time the grease washes out and the prop becomes seized on splines
In most cases you have to burn the rubber hub out of it then beat prop off. The the remaining metal core which is whats actually seized you must get die grinder and cut it along its length 180 degrees from each other then knock off each half.. Dont heat the shaft or your gonna have to replace prop shaft seals and most likely the carrier o-ring.
Use a cutting disc on your die grinder and just be careful you dont go to far or you will cut into shaft
I have run in to this a dozen times

I removed my engine for a rebuild and was wondering if I need to use a realignement tool to put the engine back in if I didn't remove the stern drive to take the engine out?

you will need to remove the outdrive to get the correct alignment. if it is a mercruiser the dimensions are available online at mercruiser.com.
