Re: waterpump
I'd say the easiest way to remedy this situation is to either give him the step by step, or just not reply to his post. This forum is designed to help people. And, if you look at the post times, he was just trying to bump his post up to the top so it would be seen again.
Luckynickles,
You should have 4 nuts to remove. There should be 2 on the cavitation plate towards the front of your lower unit. They are very easy to see. Loosen them as far as they will go. They won't come all the way off until you get the other 2 nuts loose also. There should be one bolt that runs through and threads into the trim tab, and it is accessed through a quarter sized hole above the trim tab. The final nut is a few inches in front of the trim tab. Remove it and loosen the 2 nuts on the cavitation plate the rest of the way, then the lower unit should drop off. It may require some wiggling or some tapping with a rubber mallet. Don't use a hammer.
