I have a 50 hp honda outboard

I have a 50 hp honda outboard which had developed
a crack in the side of of the gearcase extending for about two inches from the propeller forward. I have to remove the lower unit to get this repaired. Where are the bolts and how many of them hold the unit in place. Are special tools required for this job. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
no special tools
the bolts on

no special tools
the bolts on the side on the gear case are the ones you need to remove
then one under the trim anode
 
"true, the fith bolt is under

"true, the fith bolt is under the trim anode( have to remove anode, but FIRST mark its position so it can be reinstall where it was oriented!)
BUT also you need to disconect the shifting rod going to the lower unit, there is a coupling that splits the rod in two, it is where the shifting rod goes into the uper casing. Make sure it is in neutral and there are two locking nuts on either side of threaded coupling."
