Drive some shingles under it and pop the shaft with a soft hammer. Soak and heat before.
Not a lot. Put a puller on it for a few days before the whack.

No such thing as standard practice when salt is the enemy. You can only hope to gain understanding and patience. All have bags of tricks. I like the older masters. Their bags may be bigger.

Do you mean like the size of a Gofastsantaclause Bag?

Very, very nice.

Is that a fully cantilevered swim platform or will it have some vertical supports added above or below?

A stainless diagonal support has been added underneath since the picture. I took the picture while it was under construction. Good observation though. It would hold a person without the support, but it was basically a short diving board. The support firms it up a lot. We're adding 2 or 3 grab handles too. I'll try to get a new picture soon.

Swim ladder support and handles.

Infinity 6x9 speakers installed.
Grab Rails for swim platform.
Trim for dash cubby.

and...
A Boat Puller... AKA (new to me) 2013 Nissan Armada Platinum, with TOW pkg.
9,000 pounds of TOWING CAPACITY and 4WD.

More bass. Took out 6x9's put in (2) 10" JL Audio subs, the 250 watt M-Series.

just what I was thinking, "good" place to break an axle

Anchor tube installed in the locker. Took me 3 days to get the design and all the measurements. Tougher than I thought, but came out decent.

Cut a piece of 4" PVC, originally going to use L-brackets (home depot shelf brackets, or aluminum L-brackets) but decided to attach the tube to a wedge of 2x4's in a V shape to cradle the tube a bit. Now that I have a good wood template, I'll either fiberglass it, or get it made out of some non-wood product. But for our vacation next week, it'll work.
