Re: 1960 gale impeller and seal change
Remove the lower unit and water pump housing sits right on top. To remove L/U, disconnect the shift rod through the oval port on the side of the leg. Completely remove the lower bolt and that frees up the lower shift rod. Then remove the 6 bolts that hold the L/U on and the large bolt at the rear of the motor that goes in from the top. Lower unit should drop right down. When reinstalling, make sure to line up the water tube so that it slides into the grommet on the pump housing.
