Sounds like the shift linkage, there should be a little cover with two screws holding it on. That the cover off and remove the two bolts (or screws in some cases). This will disconnect the linkage and it should drop right out. And the "prop section" is called the lower unit or LU on this disscusion board sometimes.<br /><br />If that doesn't do it, there may be a bolt under the trim tab(Looks like a little rudder) you may have to remove.

I noticed you subject line about jet engines. Thats funny because my brother-in-law has 12 years in the air force as a F-15 Eagle mechanic. He can tell you anything under the sun about them, but won't even try to change the oil on his car.LOL
