    @Jmifsud I sent you a private message with the Merc installation manual for your sterndrive system.  It has the information you need.

    I also like the exploded view parts diagram that anyone can access using your engine/drive/housing serial numbers.

    Yes welcome to what I went through for 12 months. 

    Had everything taken apart and transom hole redone, new gasket + sealant. 4000 dollars later no water enters the boat.. but now we're in for a whole other problem.

    If it's leaking from the steering pin, you have to remove the transom assembly.  If you're lucky and there's no corrosion, you can replace the steering pin.  If there's too much corrosion, your only solution is to replace the transom assembly.  Either way, it's expensive, so I hope it's not the steering pin.

    There is a steering pin repair kit out there that doesn't require engine removal to install.  Im not sure it's the most popular method.

    How bad is the leak?

    Also, is it possible to remove the drives and loosen the transom assembly to reseal without removing the engines?
