I have never tried to remove or move the engine and I though this would be kinda hard. It was easier than I though. There are two bolts through the transom and 2 clamps at the top. I loosened the bolt farthest from the part I wanted to lift and removed the bolt that was closer. I then loosened the two top clamps. I was then able to wedge the engine up and clear the nut of the lip. I actually just pushed the motor to the port side and it moved up on the pivit bolt.
