Tricks to removing powerhead? (225)

[Mile9c1]

I searched but didn't find much about the 225. I am trying to replace the gasket under the engine block (it leaks water). I have the nuts/bolts off in this area on the sides and front and back... does anything else hold the power head on? My engine is a 1997 model if it matters.

I'll keep searching the forum for removal tips...

P.S. I also removed the bolt from the shifter rod.

I have a hoist lifting the powerhead, and the whole assembly is still on my boat. The lower unit is still attached.

When I pry under the two tabs on the back side of the engine, I can see movement at the joint but not much.

Nevermind, it popped right off after we got the 6 long bolts out!
