Hey guys,
Recently acquired a 1969 Evinrude 9.5HP Sportwin. It runs but no water spitting out the pee hole. So I'd like to have a look at the impeller. What I have learned from reading so far is place the engine in Reverse pull the 4 retaining bolts the LOWER UNIT - LU will Then drop far enough to expose a coupler, remove one of the bolts and the LU will then slide away from motor. I have done this and the LU has not dropped away at all. The LU will rotate from side to side but no vertical movement. i have tried to persuade the LU with a rubber mallet - No joy. Perhaps I have missed something here. Anyone wishing to share wisdom or knowledge from a similar experience would be appreciated.
Regards Sman
