Hello All
Need help removing the lower unit on my Johnson 70 hp. Model is 70EL78C. I took the 4 bolts at the bottom and the big bolt at the back and the unit still want drop. I forgot to say, I did disconnect the shift shaft rod under the carbs. Did I miss anything because the unit want drop.

Re: Lower Unit

doesn't seem like enough bolts, buy never done that motor, pull the plugs, and turn the flywheel.

Re: Lower Unit

Remove the trim tab fin and you will find another bolt above it.
