I am trying to remove the lower unit so I can replace the water pump. I have removed all of the bolts, four on each size plue the one in the back center. I removed the shift linkage from the top. I have read all of the other posts about how simple this procedure is.
It is a saltwater boat (Hawaii). The lower unit does not budge. It's as if I haven't removed the bolts. I have repeatedly verified that all of the lower bolts are off. I have gone through the forums which confirm the number of bolts I have removed and sometime mention the shift linkage needing to be disconnected. I have a Suzukie service manual which sucks when it comes to removing the lower unit. I have a Clymer manual on order.
Any help would be appreciated. Thaks.
