My bottom end seems to be leaking oil mixed with water. It looks like coffee. It's leaking from the rear of the lower unit when its tilted up. I ordered all of the seals fro the bottom end. (ETS the 11/25). The current problem is I can not remove it. I have removed four bolts, the trim tab, and the upper cowling. There is one bolt under the trim tab. I have not been able to get that one out.
Is that why this thing has not moved. It's boat number 68 on the the I shop chart http://www.ishopmarine.com/ishop/js...&isForSupStore=false&cCatFilter=&eCatSupFldr=
Is that the problem, it says it's a short bolt.

Yes, the bolt under the trim tab has to come out before the LU will drop.
