I am trying to remove the lower unit on my engine. I have removed all 6 bolts and the screw holding the shift shaft under the carbs. I am thinking the drive shaft is stuck in the crank shaft. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceede? or am I missing something?

Please help. Thanks.

7 including the trim tab bolt. I got the "hidden" one.

Tomorrow I am going to try and run it to see if i can loosen it up in there and try taking it off again...

Just make sure you put at least 2 of the 4 side bolts in about 1/2 way before cranking.
