Where to start?

Okay, time to pull the Mercruiser!
So aside from the obvious: Battery cables, fuel lines,steering and controls. what/where does one start to remove the engine and leg?
 
Unbolt the 6 nuts on the leg and slide out(make sure it is in forward)... Undo the motor mounts and lift out..... Then proceed to snap all the bolts on the transom plate ;)

Hmmm I've even had to use a 2x4 & hammer to bang it out!
 
A good grab on the cavitation plate/skeg and a up/down motion usually works. Sometimes a bigger hammer is needed.

Need to take the Trim rams off too..... just the ends by the prop... forgot to add
 
Thanks for the info guys.
Yup, I saw where the rams would have to come off also, damn, brand new zincs mounted to the rams. Forgot I put them on last year and they never made it to the salt.
