Has anyone pulled the transmission on their
S2-27.?? Access looks like a problem, tips?

Hi Mark,
I pulled mine quite a while ago. I was skinnier then. :-)
This last Spring, though, I had to replace the shaft log hose & it is probably a job requiring similar access. I pulled the stuffing box by basically laying on top of the diesel & reaching behind the engine. It was tight & I had engine component imprints all over my chest, arms & stomach to prove it! This is also how I adjust the stuffing box & put fluid into the tranny.?
I did clean out the lazarettes to gain better access from the rear, but ended up going over the engine for almost all the work. If I were to pull the tranny I would probably have to go through the lazarettes to get to some of the bolts, though.
I almost had the yard replace the shaft log hose because of the limited access. I knew I could do the job, just didn’t think I would fit the way I once did. Even then it was a squeeze. That was 15 lbs. ago.
Good luck!
Frank

Thanks Frank,? I did it the same way 20 years
ago but not sure these days.? I wish it was only 15 lbs ago, not
sure my now 205 will fit, or get out if I do get in!
Maybe we could get a group of 25 year old folks that want to
travel.....

When my shaft log hose started to leak it was close to the end of sailing season last year. I checked with the marina that hauls my boat & they said it was no problem. Most of the cost would have been in the haul-out. The guy that would have done the work was there & he was a small, skinny guy. I was able to wrap the hose well enough to get through the year & fix it before I launched this year. That said, if I were in your place I’d look for someone to do the work for you.
So, what’s wrong with your tranny that you have to pull it?

I worry about my shaft log hose, too, since I pretty sure it is original to the boat.? If it were to start leaking, do you think that stretchy silicone tape would keep the water out?

I used a waterproof electrical tape. It was a pain to get a good wrap around the hose & I think I had to do it twice. I also had to be a bit more vigilant getting the water out from under the engine after motoring. Seemed to hold pretty well just sitting at the dock, though.
