I have a 60hp Mariner 2 stroke. I think it is an 87' model. Not definitely sure about that though.
I am looking to take the boat out the water and do some maintenace to the outboard over the winter. I am having some bother getting it into reverse. It does go in but needs a good throw in with some crunching. So this winter i would like to remove the unit and strip the gearbox. It looks quite straight forward to take the gearbox off the bottom, my only concern is how is it connected to the engine itself?
Is it just a shaft straight into the bottom of the engine that will slide out when i unbolt and pull the lower assembly off?
Has the selector got to be disconnected under the engine itself prior to pulling it out with the lower assembly?
Thank you for your time.
