I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but the only posts I could find related to Force engines a few years older than mine.

I went to change the impeller on my new 97 Force 120, removed the only 4 bolts I could see holding the l/u on, but couldn't get it to slide down after removing them. I tried going to forward and reverse, but still couldn't get the lower unit off.

Does anyone know if I am missing a bolt, or if there is something else I can try. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm a new boat owner trying to do the right thing and make sure I get years of enjoyment out of the motor.

Thanks!

There is a hidden bolt under the exhaust snout. There is also six (6) bolts holding the L/U in place , you must have missed two .
