Hello everyone.
I’ve been wrestling with removing this small block from my Jolly Roger boat.
My question is, are there bolts or anything underneath that I cannot see? This bell housing won’t come off. The motor feels like it’s coming out, but isn’t. I’ve taken a pic to show the bell housing area
Thanks for any help

Sorry we weren't quick on it for ya!
I just saw this now, but the shaft is still in, I personally would pull that before messing with motor.
But perhaps you were caught on the lovejoy or bellhousing connection inside? Do tell!

Speedling,
I ended up pulling off the 4 bolts that held the spline around the U Joint and drive coming from the motor. Then I pried that forward and the motor slipped off. I didn't realize how deep the shaft was going in until I removed it. If I have to pull it again in the future, I'll know what I'm up against and this should go a lot quicker.
