Re: 20 evinrude lower unit 1986
With all the bolts backed off, pull the lower unit down. This will expose the shift coupling through the gap on the stbd side of the motor. Remove the lower of the two bolts through the coupling. You may need to move the shift lever to get a good access. Go to boats.net to look at the drawings if you need to. When replacing put a screw driver in the gap in the coupling and pry it open just a little. This will assist with relocating the shaft in the coupling.
