The diverters/plates that direct the exhaust either thru the transom, or thru the OD, are bolted to the shaft that goes thru the bushings you need to change. Obviously you'll need to remove the shafts to change the bushings. You'll need to remove the exhaust hose to get to the bolts holding the plates. Not much more effort to just pull the pipes that house the diverters at that point. And probably the quickest way to git'r done.Leud Conduct said:
