Re: Add reverse? the most important thing is to find a way to lift the powerhead. I use an engine hoist. I know Magnum P.I. uses an atv winch cable thrown over a tree branck. lol. in any case, if you can lift the powerhead off easily, it's a job that takes well under an hour.

Re: Add reverse? Agree with crews, I was a little worried, but it was no big deal.
I didnt add the tension knob or the new nylon sleeve. Hoisted the powerhead up in the garage with a come-along up to the rafters. Slapped the new plate on and put the powerhead back down.

Re: Add reverse? Ya'll must be some weak ass's
I have pulled about a dozen of these power heads, and I just unbolt them and pick em up.
Done a couple by myself, which I don't recommend, but with another guy it is pretty easy.

Re: Add reverse? Well it wasn't very well worded.
But what I was referring to was the need for winch's, lifts, and what not.
Four bolts pick it up and set in on the bench.
Done.
Like I said, I have done it by myself, almost ruptured a nut but I did it.
Oh fork it, never mind.
I give up.

Re: Add reverse? I agree with River. If you Napoleon's weren't so vertically challenged it isn't that difficult to lift the power head off the PD Motor mount.
