Hey Bill,
I took your suggestion and used an old skateboard to install my drives. Works great. Prop the drive skeg on the skateboard and line the spline shaft up with the gimble gearing. Raise / lower the trailer as needed and slid in.
Only problem was I screwed up and didn't get the shift cable engaged on the port engine so out it came , realigned the cable and shoved it back in. The starboard went in fine then we saw the waterjacket o - ring laying on the ground so out that one came only to find the o - ring in place so we reinstalled it. The o - ring on the ground was a old one removed last fall.
Congrats on the new boat ! Looks nice!
