Okay this is not my first impeller change but the first on a Mariner.

I pulled all the bolts and the lower unit will not drop?? Am I missing something or is there a trick? Is there any linkage to disconnect if so where?

NOTE TO SELF: EMIAL previous owner and ask who the mechanic was that permatexed the lower unit!!!!!:^

no linkage on mercs.

should be one bolt in front, one on each side, 2 on underneath of anticav plate near rear and 1 bolt for trim tab, and 1 bolt under trim tab.

if its still stuck, the driveshaft has seized into the crankshaft! fun!
