I have had a few problems with the motor and wanted to drop the lower unit to eliminate a few possibilities. I have removed all of the bolts and the lower unit drops about an inch. Then it hangs on something inside and wont continue to drop. What is hanging and how do I continue to drop it? I have read a few things about a bolt or something that is inside the motor, but you have to take the top off to get to it. Is this right? If so how do i even start to take apart the top? Thanks for some much needed help!!!!!!

Look Under the carburetors almost right against the power head there is a screw that hooks to ur shifting rod take it out and the lower unit will come off don't turn it after its or out or it will not shift right
