[Public-List] Transmission Removal Prop-Shaft Question

[C.B. Currier]

Yes he has a Grey Marine...
Last time I did this on my atomic 4
(same problem - replace rear seal) I pulled the motor off its bunks and
onto the cabin sole. 
You can shove the propshaft all the way back
just turn to tiller to port or starboard & make sure the prop is
aligned vertical.
I found it easier to pull the whole motor ... took
just a few minutes to do as much like you I had had the motor out
recently. 
Besides working over the back of the motor ... might be a
bit challenging to get everything back together.
