I have a manual on the way but
I have a manual on the way but tryin to get a heads up on getting my lower unit off. I have it loose and can drop it about a 1/2 inch. From what i have read so far it seems the problem is my shifter rod is still hooked up. I see a couple nuts threaded in a opening in the front of the motor just above the lower unit. I have tried to loosen them but still get no movement further down. I also see at the top of the rod that the rod has a cotter pin that connects it. I am hopeing that with all the knowlage in here that some one can explain how to get my unit dropped.
My serial number is 40EL 6e9 L 426532 1986 mariner 40hp
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks
Willi
