Sometimes theres another bolt hiding under the trim tab,
did you disconnect the shift linkage near the carbs.

Thanks!!! That was it. I thought it was the shift rod but I couldent see where to get at it. Putting the thing in reverse put it in a position to (barely) get at it. Now my problem is the @#$% impeller is frozen on the drive shaft. Also sheared a screw off on the housing. Good times...thanks again for the help guys.

i use a dremel tool to cut the brass/bronze base off the drive shaft two cut to get it off.
