1986 175 hp Johnson. Please show a picture of that front bolt to release lower unit

[scooper77515]

My dad is working on dropping his lower unit. Some linkage failed and blew something out, and cracked his lower unit housing. He is trying to get the lower unit off to assess the damage. But he has removed all the bolts he can see, including the one under the zinc, but we are hearing about a bolt at the front of the engine, possibly under the carbs.

Can someone post a picture of this bolt so he can find it and get the lower off and get it fixed or replaced?

My engine is a 70 hp, so yours may be a bit different. It is literally under the engine on the left side if your facing the prop. It was pretty tricky to get out good luck.

OK, that makes sense. That is holding the unit in from there.

That helps!

Thanks a bunch!
