So I discovered that my lower is locked up on VE50TLETF Evinrude 50HP. It was working but had a high pitch intermittent whine. The motor had stalled and would restart and run but never full power. Found choke housing cracked and replaced. Attempted to restart but foot is froze up. The shaft won't budge. What are the chances it is just the bearing where the shaft enters the foot? How do i take it apart and what tools do I need? If I buy a manual which one do you guys suggest?
Would I be better off trying to locate a used foot?![IMG_0726.jpg IMG_0726.jpg](https://forums.iboats.com/data/attachments/137/137219-8955e9187c3adaa4a8d62ceb80969a60.jpg)
