Hi,

I'm trying to install a new impeller on my motor and have run into problems. Have taken the 6 bolts (2 on each side of lower unit, 2 in the back) and can't get the lower unit to drop down more than an inch or so. Seems like it's hung on something. I figured it might be the shift linkage, but there's really no easy way to disconnect it at the top. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Boat
