OK I am totally new to Powerboats - I am a long time sailor (blowboats please don't hold that against me, I am coming over to the dark side :))
I have purchased an old whaler that we have restored the hull. The engine was checked out and had some work done to it. I need to replace the screens at the water intake. I know I have to undo the 6 bolts holding the lower unit on.
Where is the shift lever nut that also has to be released?
I have not released anything yet, tonight's project.

Thanks
 
J70ELCS is a 1980 model

The shift rod is one piece so has to be disconnected at the top.

Overhaul the waterpump, new impeller at least, while you have it all adrift
