In an earlier post I asked how to get of the lower unit to change waterpumps and somone told me to remove the screws on the shift rod and I see them but the problem is the unit won't drop enough for me to remove the screws. Can anyone help me?
Use the shifter to enlarge the area by putting it in forward position, thus raisng the shift rod from the gearcase. Then with the bolts out, moving the lever to reverse will give you more space.
You won't have room for much but a 1/8 drive and socket or a screwdriver should work.
You have to completely remove the screw. They are special, so don't lose it.
