Hi connie<br /><br />Linckage is disconnected behind the lower carbureator, usually by removing starter. There are 2 kind on systems, one with a bolt and another with a little spring pin. Dont even try to remove lower unit before shift rod is disengaged, to avoid gear og seal damage.

Re: 50 hp evinrouge outboard motor

I just pulled the lower unit on my 83 Evinrude 50 hp. <br /><br />The manual was a huge help. <br /><br />Also, another thing that made it possible for me to pull it was doing a search through these pages with the search function about lower units. The information was tremendous! Have him do that and he should be able to get it off just fine.<br /><br />Jason
