Bracket on a 20

[jorgeinmiami]

Before doing anything I drilled some holes on the transom to assure myself as to the state of the transom. (more glass work, fairing and sanding)

Drilled 8 holes in different areas and thank fully all the wood that came out was dry. I was pretty confident that it was dry because it had almost no holes drilled in it by the prior owner and the top part has no cracks or seams that the water can get into.

Located 2 late 80's early 90's Merc 150's in the 750 to 1000 range that owners say have good compression and are in good shape. One stated that the steering arm has rusted and may need replacement. From what I have heard you need to remove power head to replace that part?

Can anyone here shed some light on the process?
