Force Powerhead

[revertmastec]

I am replacing my powerhead on my 1986 Force 125. Does anyone have any tricks of the trade on getting the old one off. I managed to get all the bolts out(with out breaking any) but i can not get the seal broke so that I can remove the powerhead.Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Force Powerhead

One trick, drop the lower unit first. It's much easier to drop then to lift,drve shaft spline, exaust tube.<br />Once you have it off, all the bolts out, you should be able to hoist it right off.<br />And it is heavy!<br />Good luck. Sounds like a nice Winter project.
