My boat is on the hard having a bottom job done. The cutless needs replaced. The estimate from the yard is a couple thousand, due to the work of removing the rudder etc. Is this something me and a friend could do in a day? Two? It's work, but seems straight forward unless we run into significant problems with frozen bolts. Someone here http://www.morgan38.org/morgan38/index.php?threads/dropping-the-rudder.10843/#post-102453 claims to have dropped the rudder, and pulled the shaft and log in 3 hours.
Looking at other threads,
How high does the boat need to be raised to drop the rudder? It is currently on a cart so it can be moved around. I'd guess that it is 1 foot higher than if it were blocked on the ground.
