Watched YouTube videos on how to drop lower unit but all were 20" shafts. Mine is a 25" shaft. I'm guessing a 5" extension kit was installed. Can't fiqure out what bolts to were to drop lower unit. The normal 4 bolts on the bottom do not exist on this outboard. Anyone have a link to a How-To video for an extended shaft? I need to get to my water pump . I can guess at what to unbolt but I hate guess work.
Update ( guesswork): 1. Uncap and unbolt deep nut to anode.2. Unbolt one nut on each side under front/ top of lower unit. 3. Unbolt single nut atop and front/center of lower unit. That's all the bolts that look like they pertain to the job. Am I missing anything?
Update: Found two more bolts hiding indent above the prop. All 6 bolts loosened up easily . Getting dark, now. Will attempt to drop lower unit tomorrow. Hopefully, there are no hidden shift links or such that I have to disconnect first, and unit will lower away w/ no probs.
