quick question about my pops' boat. He's got a Century belt drive unit, and we're trying to figure out how to take it off (or put it back on) the motor.

I know Century has instructions on their website, and I've even chatted with their team, but we're really hoping to find a video of someone actually doing it.

Just trying to get a better visual on the whole process. Anyone got a link or a clip about the tutorials?
 
Last summer, I helped my uncle change out his Century belt drive. The manuals were okay, but watching a video really made it easier for us. We found a YouTube clip titled "airboat belt drive removal" that went over the basics. It might not be specifically for Century, but the process is the same, you disconnect the battery, take off the flexplate bolts, lift the top drum to loosen the belt, and then unbolt the drive housing. Putting it back together is just the opposite.
