Re: Lower Unit not coming off

I'm thinking my part is not original or came off a similar motor with a similar set up. I see the part you are referring to, that's probably what is supposed to be on it. I think it's the rod end yolk. Maybe West Marine has one now that I know what I need! Thanks Gerry, maybe I can get out on the water this week!

Re: Lower Unit not coming off

I'm curious TM. What is PTT.

Power trim and tilt. When installed, the pistons of the unit keep the engine in position when the unit is off.

Re: Lower Unit not coming off

Your lower unit may be able to be brazed or aluminum-welded - you may want to see a good welder. Before the lower unit dropped...was there a "crack" or a "snapping" noise - if so - there may be broken or badly damaged parts. Was there any sign of damage to the splines at the top of the drive shaft ?

Re: Lower Unit not coming off

No cracks or snaps, it just came out hard. Everything looks good, no damaged splines or anything else that I noticed. I think the only casualty was the reverse lock swivel bracket mentioned above. Oh and the LU housing. I didn't think that type of metal could be welded? We always called it white metal.

Re: Lower Unit not coming off

I,m pretty sure the case casting is aluminum. I cashed one in at scrap a few months ago. and can be heli arch welded.
