1996 Mariner 75 HP Lower Unit Removal

[jhs449]

Am trying to replace water pump in my 1996 75 HP Mariner. Have loosened the 5 obvious bolts, however the lower unit will not separate from the motor. Have I missed something?

Dont know about that year model..But some had a hidden bolt. Remove the "trim tab" on the rear and see if the bolt is under it.
