    Removing lower cowling?

    Need to remove the cowling on my 08 150 opti. All I see is 1 bolt upfront and 1 in the rear. Is there anything else I need to know?

    FOUR bolts must be removed:

    1- up front, INSIDE the cowling
    1- Underneath the cowling, near front
    2- Inside the rear of the cowling

    You will also need to disconnect the Cowling Mounted Trim Switch.
