[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 393147, member: 13702"] Next question - any tips on separating the lower unit from the rest of the engine? I've got the bolt and 3 nuts off (two up top & one behind the tab), I've tried it in fwd, neutral & reverse and I can't separate it more than 1/2". There doesn't appear to be a coupling or other release point in the shift linkage, I think given the condition of the parts motor that the driveshaft spline is probably corroded and not separating, but I'm not sure. I want to get the lower unit off the 2nd motor without damaging the the longshaft driveshaft housing, as i'd like to put the whole thing up on eBay as a conversion, but this is aggravating me no end.
