when removing the lower unit I was able to find all the bolts, the unit starts to lower about 3" My problem is the unit will not disengage from the shift linkage....Need some helpful hints! :confused:

There should be an access panel on the side of the case held on by 2 screws. Remove the plate. You should see the linkage thru the hole.<br />Loosen the screws only as much as you need to. You should not need to completely remove them.

Thanks for the quick response.....I'll give it a try.....Do you know it there is an easy(nothing is ever easy)way to replace the screens in the lower unit, so I don't pick up all the debris.<br />Thanks Deuce
