It will be in July. Getting a deal this time of year.

I have done it. If you do it yourself you should replace the coupler bolts and nylock nuts. You will have to remove the coupler from the shaft in order to slide the shaft out the bottom. I think there is a special tool for this-- you can get it at Elbert's. Put tape over the threads on the shaft and grease it so it slides easily through the dripless shaft seal. You may also have to remove the nuts on your rudder and use a winch strap to move it out of the way a bit (this was Wolfeman's great idea that saved me a ton of time as I didn't have to remove the rudder to let the shaft get by).
