1. Can I tune up the outboards without taking it out of the water? Saves a lot of hassel if I can do it on the water. I can back my boat into the boat house so I can acess the outdrives. At low tide I could put the outdrive almost all of the way down. Will that be enough of an angle to change the gear oil????



Doug-
I did my engines earlier this summer on the trailer and think your going to have to pull the boat. Just from a mess (oil spill) and the "oops" of dropping a the fluid plugs perspective. It would make the Job much harder knee deep in water or muck. I say pull it and save yourself the the frustration of lost plugs.

I think you are correct.... I am trying to save a hassle, and in the long run I may end up with more hassel then it is worth. Plus it will give me a chance to check the bottom paint. Thanks for all the replys guys.....
