Have to replace the water pump on my 40 hp. mariner 4 cyl, its supposed to be a 92 or 93. Am working with a seloch manual and wish I had something better!<br /> Removed 2 nuts on studs and one nut aft above the prop. Also removed the tab/annode as directed but turns out that was not necessary. Also disconnected the shift arm and rotated as directed. Can only drop the unit about 3/8 of an inch and then it stops. Very fwd edge of the unit has a threaded stud that appears to slide down easy, next comes the shift shaft which may be my problem. <br /> On both sides of the shaft are drilled holes and the left side has a slot forward of the hole. Could there be somekind of spring release in these holes? If you have a secret please share it with me. Am ready to run my sawsall thru it! thanks fred
