I have a '74 70hp 'Rude L/S and I want to drop the lower unit. The manual says I must disconnect a blue and green wire and attach an extra length of wire to each before dropping the unit. The problem is that I cant find these two wires. Can anybody help me with this?

You are right, no wires. I missed that in my Solec manual. Thanks for your time and help.
