How do you separate the upper and lower units? there are 5 main bolts that seem to hold them together. After loosening all 5 I could not get the 2 to separate. Am i missing a bolt or something? I now have disconnected the upper and lower as 1 piece from the rest of the boat as I had to check that connection as well since the motor runs but the prop will not spin when in gear and in the water..any ideas?

Alpha I? remove the trim tab, and there is another allen head screw under there. There are 7 total, 1 in front, 4 on sides, trim tab allen head and smaller allen head under trim tab.

Re: lower unit

As stated above, you missed the one under the trim tab.
Do you have the drive locked all the way in forward gear? Drive oil drained?
Did you read your manual?
