Johnson lower unit

[Danny Mahan]

I have a 1991 Johnson GT150 motor. I've taken all bolts out but get the lower unit to drop out of the rest of the motor. It seems like thee is something holding it from coming out.????

You need to disconnect the shift rod.---Did you remove hidden bolt under the trim tab ?-----Shift rod pin is found somewhere underneath the lower carburetor.-----Put one bolt back in 4/5 threads.----Prevents lower unit from bouncing on your toes.
