Hi guys,
I have recently inherited a gem of a boat my grandfather had custom built back in 69 with a Evinrude 55hp Hydro Shift - 55973A. The boats been standing for a few years and I'm in the process of giving it a service but I've come up against a mystery problem.
I'm trying to remove the lower unit, I've removed all 6 bolts and I've disconnected the electric shift wires and tied some string around them so I can pull them back up, but for the life of me I can't get the lower unit off!! Is there something I'm missing or something I haven't done correctly? Any help or info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Slim
