"I have a 1987 8 HP Nissan 2 s
"I have a 1987 8 HP Nissan 2 stroke. Trying to remove lower unit so I can replace the impeller. Removed the "E-Ring" on the shift rod, and the 4 bolts holding the lower unit. By tapping on the lower unit, I can only get it to drop by about 5/16". The whole lower unit will wiggle within the housing, but it won't move any further than 5/16". I don't want to hit it any harder. What am I missing? Putting it in neutral or in forward/reverse doesn't make any difference. Does the prop assembly need to come off first?
I picked this motor up in a trade, and I don't want to put a lot of money into it. I do want to make it right, so the next owner won't have to mess with it to use it.
Thanks for any info."
