what does it take to remove lower housing, to get to impeller. I know there is 5 bolts, what else has to be undone to drop the lower end? thank you

Re: 1996 force impeller change

I have a 1996 force 40hp #oe158593, and i cannot figure out what to remove next to change the impeller. i have removed 4 bolts and 1 nut from the lower end, i have also purchased a manual-that is completely useless, can you help? thanks

Re: 1996 force impeller change

4 bolts (2 bolts on each side of the lower unit.)<br />1 nut up in the trim tab pocket.<br /><br />And then disconnect the shift shaft.<br />On the starboard side just above the lower unit, there is a coupler nut, held in position with a jam nut.<br />Loosen the jam nut, then turn the coupler nut the other way to disconnect the shift shaft.<br /><br />Lower unit should drop down, will maybe need a little gentkle persuasion.

Re: 1996 force impeller change

I am brand new to boating and I need to replace my impeller in a 92 Force 120. Sounds like I should be able to handle the repair according to this thread. Is it a repair for a beginner? I have the SELOC Manual but I have not found a section that is very clear for replacing the impeller. Does anyone know of a good website showing steps and diagrams for this replacement?
