Rob,
Wish I could help. I was trying to figure out how the lift comes off because
we thought we had a leak coming from underneath the plywood reinforcement
inside the lazarette. Luckily, we found that water was leaking from the
rudder gudgeons making motor lift removal moot. Looks as though that its
simply held on by the bolts you've removed and any bedding/sealants used and
it may just be a matter of extra pressure to pry it away from the transom. A
call to Stan may be your best option before doing further damage.  If you do
get the lift removed, please post photos on The List. They will be a
tremendous addition to the Archive.  I believe that you just had one of
those unfortunate accidents, a blind spot, because as the saying goes "You
can't fix stupid!"  Good luck!
