Hello Guys: I have a 1985 60HP Mariner that I have worked all afternoon
on and haven't got the lower unit to come off the mid section. I do have a
factory service manual and have followed the instructions exactly and have
also drove wood wedges between the 2 sections and all I can get is about a
1/4" between the LU and the MS. I also took the 2 covers off of the water
discharge and took a piece of 1/2" oak and a 2 pound maul and tried to
drive the LU off and it want bulge. If I take a piece of 1/2" x 2" flat bar and
put through the water discharge and hit it with the maul, will the LU take
that kind of beating or would that break the LU? Or do I need to take the
midsection off? Listening to any suggestions and thanks beforehand!
HERE I SIT ALL BROKEN HEARTED--JUST CAME TO THIS SIGHT TO BE MADE
SMARTER!
