Mercury 35 Lower Unit :(

[Maintain]

I can't get the lower unit off of my 1987 Mercury 35HP...

I think the water pump is bad... it's not squirting any water. I've used an air hose and determined that the line isn't blocked.

I took it to a boat shop and they charged me 95 bucks for 1 hour of labor and to say they couldn't get it off either!


ANY HELP!>!>>!?!?!?!
EDIT: The motor is a 1987!
87 A722953 35HP Mercury

Re: Mercury 35 Lower Unit

Same applies here, you need a serial # or at least a year for input.....
You cannot get a significant bump in HP out of the 3.0 by tweaking it.....​
