[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 430661, member: 18942"] To start with I unbolted the mercury and lifted it off the back using a shop crane didn't photograph this as it's pretty straight forward unhook battery cables, unhook fuel line, loosen bolts support engine using engine hoist and lifting straps. With the help of a friend unbolt it and remove it carefully. Then I unbolted my jack plate. With the engine off I jacked the boat up slightly off the trailer on one end using a car jack with a block wood between it and the boat. Once the end of the boat was off the trailer bunks I slid pieces of 2x4 wood scraps between the bunks and hull to leave a gap between the bunks and hull. I then did the same on other end of the boat. I then slid long heavy duty tow straps between the hull and trailer. I have two post car lift in my garage so I backed the trailer in and positioned the lifting arms appropriately and hooked the straps to them to lift the hull off the trailer. Sorry I didn't think to take pics of the wood between the hull and trailer bunks and putting the lifting straps in. [/QUOTE]
