Oil pump removal with engine in hull:
With the carbs removed, is is possible to reach down in far enough to remove the oil pump? Also, your tech page mentioned a plastic shaft that has to be pulled out with plyers. Can this be done with the engine in the hull? I don't recall a plastic shaft when I installed the engine (1996 SLT780). Is the plasic shaft hard to remove? My line of site and room to work is tight.
Right now I'm running premix with a bad oil pump. If possible, I'd like to block it off without pulling the motor.
Thanks!
Jamie.
