    Pulling my powerhead

    93 fastrike 175

    I am pulling my powerhead (first time ever doing so) to change a leaky gasket and my service manual mentions 2 “horizontal” bolts up front that must be removed. The picture in the manual isn’t very clear, so I’m struggling with which ones to pull. #1 is a 3/8” bolt, and #2 is approx 3/4”. And I don’t really think #3 is the one, but it was there so I labeled it. My guess is #1 (on both sides of the motor). Right or wrong? Or none of the above? Thanks for any help!!

    You need to pull both the 3/4" bolts are for the motor mounts so you are going to need a breaker bar.

    Thank you! So the “1” bolts can stay? I added the pic to my original post.

    As always, thank you ChampioNman! Powerhead is back on and I can go fishing tomorrow. And hopefully I won’t ever have to take it off again!
