Re: HELP lower unit remove
It's electric shift. No shift rod.
1. Disconnect the shift wires by the powerhead exhaust cover.
2. Remove the rear lower motor cover and rear exhaust housing cover as a unit. Remove the clamp holding the shift wires below the thermostat.
3. Remove the six nuts holding the gearcase to the extension housing, and the two bolts holding the extension housing to the exhaust housing.
4. The gearcase and extension housing should now come down as a unit.
To be honest, I don't remember if there is anything else to deal with concerning the shift wires. Take a good look and use common sense. I can't remember everything.
