225 ho. Need help with powerhead

[insurancell]

I need to talk with someone who knows about a 2000 225 ho. I cant get the powerhead off. I have removed all the bolts. But is not coming off. Will separate at back but not up front. Is there a bolt behind the carbs. Help! Rick PS Never had this problem before.

Is this a salt/brackish water engine? Have you removed lower unit as driveshaft could be frozen into crankshaft...
