I just did mine last night and it was a piece of cake. I drive in to a nice shallow bay and anchored. I loosened the line at the pump and pulled it through the transom (I have Insta-trim tabs) and then threaded the new line through. I heaped on the silicone and attached the protector on the stern. I then attached the new cylinder and was done. 20 Minutes from start to finish without taking it out of the water.
