Cowling Open Up?

[John Galt]

I have a 98 Johnson Ficht motor, 175. I need to split the cowling and remove the left side for access. I see only 4 or 5 bolts that appear to hold it together. Am I going to find any surprises doing this? I can't find anything in the manual referring to that procedure. Thanks.

Some of them have a hitch pin thru the big studs off the motor that stick thru the big rubber grommets on the pan. Look inside the pans and you will see what I'm talking about.

Thanks Walker. I plan to check this out in the morning.
