Removing lower unit

[Kevin Witkowski]

Evinrude 1998 115 HP. What needs to be done to loosen the linkage under the carberators? It is almost impossible to get at. Does the 1/4 inch bolt need to be loosened or removed? Once the lower unit is dropped, how difficult is it to get back on?<br />Thanks!

Re: Removing lower unit

I just did that on a 90 HP should be the same. Yes that bolt needs to be removed, I use a 1/4 drive 12" extention w/ a swivel socket. You will have to be fairly dexterus to install it, but it's not too hard. I put a dab of grease on the bolt head to hold it in the socket, tape around the flex so it don't flop around too much, & start it without the ratchet to make sure you don't cross thread it. You don't want to cross thread that. Good Luck, Joe
