I have a 1979 Evinrude 70 horse outboard (70973R). I am attemting to change the water pump; I have disconnected the lower unit and it drops down abut two inches and will not go any further. I do not want to force the unit down, however there seems to be some relationship between the gear shifter and the lower unit. My question is what is involved in removing the lower unit.
