I dropped my lower unit on a 2000 mariner/Mercury 75HP outboard and it was a bear. Really had to hit hard to get it to come down but got it off. What causes this and how do I got about installing so it's not so difficult? I am looking to replace pump and other seals and was hoping if anybody can suggest how to avoid this from happening in the future as I am not sure how difficult it's going to be to get it back on? Also, previous owners did not hacking to get it off by prying with a screwdriver so the joint points between lower and midsection has some gaps from the screwdrivers. Do I need to put some gasket seal on the edges? Any help would be greatly appreciated it. Thanks again. I have looked and have not been able to find to much info on this..
