Greetings from Whitehorse, Yukon, where it is a balmy +25C, and the fish are biting!
Have all the bolts on my J30RLETA out, and even have the lower shift rod connector undone. Cannot remove the lower unit to change water pump impeller. Tried disconnecting the lower shift rod connection behind the water intake screens just in case that was it. Can only lower the unit about three inches, where it stops solid.
Evidently, the top shift rod connector needs to be undone, but I cannot see how to get at it.
Is there a thread or a link on how to do this? Did a seacrh a few minutes ago on here, but cannot find one. Newcomer on here, but not to outboards. Changed lots of the older style with little sideplate that came off to show the connection. Glad I'm not on the side of a river somewhere!
Thanks,
Ted
