These engines can be really heavy so safety first. You can mess up the engine, linkages, your boat or yourself in a heartbeat.
I have a 2006 Yamaha 90 HP four stroke that weighs about 380#. I went to the local tool rental and rented an engine hoist. It was cheap, and most importantly, safe. I bought a short peice of wire cable and a couple of clamps to fit up to the lifting eyes that were already on my engine. When I was done, the lifting cable assembly I fabricated got thrown into the gadget drawer for the next time I need it. [links]
Some outboards have a spot to screw in a lifting eye, which can be pricey. You can also use leverage to do the work, unhook the outboard cables, etc. and remove the anchor bolts/nuts, have a bud or two stabilize the motor while you raise the trailer tongue until the transom clamp is free of the transom, then move the boat out and help your buds set the outboard on a motor rack or in a large, heavy duty wheel barrow so it can be moved where you want it. Another option is heavy straps, an overhead beam and a come-along or winch. Whichever option you choose, be safe while doing it.

Here's a completely useless picture of it hanging there that doesn't show the block and tackle and barely the lifting eye

Brad , it is necessary to remove that pin from the shift rod simply because it attaches it to the shift arm and the rod will slide down with the lower unit.This is what transfers the mechanical movement of the shift lever to the shift fork in the gearcase.Also don't forget to remove trim tab bolt and the one under it.Installation will be the reverse of removal procedure + a few choice words.
The gear case has 7 bolts, counting the trim tab bolt, which you have to remove to get at a bolt under the trim tab. The shaft with the hitch pin is a shaft within a shaft with a split lever at end, when you remove the hitch pin, push inward on the inner shaft, one half of the lever moves outward and allows the shift lever to be removed from the pin. here
I have a 1995 150 Ocean runner with the OIS system. My issue is not with the running of the engine, it's the starting. The starter sometimes makes a screeching noise as it's cranking. The starter/Bendix are two separate parts and to get to the Bendix I need to remove the flywheel cover. I've removed the timing wheel bolt but the brass sleeve is somewhat frozen to the crank shaft.

If your boat has a standard transom height I don't see much of a problem. more
As you know, with a jet lower unit, the engine always operates in forward, even when in "neutral" and reverse. Reverse is simply the reverse-boot device cupping over the jet outlet and directing the output forward, and "neutral" is simply adjusting that boot so that it balances between forward and reverse, neutral in the water, but not neutral at the drive shaft. here
Switching out a lower unit from jet to prop should be no problem.
