[QUOTE="HickInTheSticks, post: 386655, member: 18253"] I've got a 4-stroke 1996 Mercury 6.0 that I recently acquired. It was suggested that I replace the impeller before attempting to run it, so I went out and bought a new impeller. Removed 3 bolts that allow the lower unit to come up a bit... the only thing that its catching on now, and forgive my lack of technical terminology... but it's basically a throttle rod. I turn the tiller F or R and it moves up and down adjusting the throttle on the motor. It runs all the way down the shaft and won't disconnect from the prop area...there's no bolts there, just a couple oil screws. Something inside the motor to disconnect the rod up top? [/QUOTE]
