Re: 88 evinrude water pump 40HP
what you are looking for is the retaining screw on the shift cam located in the bottom of the pan.once you have that removed proceed to the lower unit bolts. once they are out you'll be able to separate the lower unless the shaft is rusted into the powerhead-hopefully not ! This is another good reason to service the lower once a year so when you need to get it apart-it will come apart !
