A video on youtube shows how easy it is. Remove the powerhead by taking out seven screws, lift off, unhook the shift coupling, drop the lower unit, etc.
But I find front screw underneath is a bolt head. Can't get a socket through.
Do I really need to remove the powerhead on my unit? What is the screw halfway down the exhaust tube about? Is that a decoupler on the shift rod or something?
Anyone with expertise on impeller replacement specific to my model who can advise; would be greatly appreciated.
(I don't see how I can access the front right screw (my case a bolt head) to unbolt the powerhead; I would have to uncouple the upper and lower support bushings off the transom assy to get to it - that is crazy to replace an impeller!)
Thanks again,
