Maintenance. Replacing the power trim/tilt unit. What should have been an hour job expanded quite a bit - the lower axle pin was completely seized in the plastic bushings and transom bracket. Had to employ large hammers, drift punches, heat gun, sawzall, and a drill. At the end of the had the old unit removed, with remaining piece of the lower shaft still stuck in the starboard transom bracket. Only smashed one finger, so that's a win. More to go on this one...
