I have pulled the lower unit on my 97 200 venom many times over 20 years I now have a new to me etec and want to take the lower unit in for resealing and impeller I was wondering if anything has changed in the removal for example I used to measure the shift rod height and have the shifter in a certain position ,would appreciate any incite thanks as always Pat

All things are pretty much the same. Same number and location of bolts. Same exhaust shoe between the lower unit and the midsection. Remove the lower motor cover for easy access to the shift rod screw. Same need to keep the proper shift rod height.

A little tip, take a magic marker and make a mark on the drive shaft and a corresponding mark on the housing before you rotate the drive shaft. This will keep the splines in line. Tape the lower exhaust housing in the mid to keep it in place, grease the sides of the spline but not the top to prevent hydro locking it. 21 29/32" from deck to shift rod eye in neutral.
