I have a 1983 15hp Evinrude.
I have a 1983 15hp Evinrude. When I checked the workshop manual as to how to remove the thermostat it seemed an easy job. Undo seven bolts and take of the cylinder head cover BUT the bottom bolt is below the level of the casing the engine sits in and is inaccessible. Surely you don't have to lift the engine clear of the casing to do this as there would seem to be a lot of undoing to be done OR is there a special spanner? Any advice gratefully received.
