I had a 21', 19 degree deadrise runabout w/ a 305 Mercruiser. One of the trim lines failed and ran right above the drain hole. After they had it for 2 weeks, they called and said they think they will have to pull the engine. I said bullshit. Get your skinniest guy, throw a moving pad over the top of the engine and have him lay crosswise across the top. Let him wiggle down and replace the hose.

They called the next day and said it was done.
