Might also depend on senior vs jr models. On my 56 Executive i had to remove tail shaft housing and exhaust and power unit would still not come off. IIRC i had to loosen the right motor mount to allow the engine to either lift slightly to the right or some issue like that. It was 4 years ago.

At the time it did not occur to me to cut a little off of the shaft but IIRC 1/8 inch from end of shaft in my case would have been plenty to allow clearence to remove the power unit.
