Removal
Remove screw from shift lever to release the
lower shift rod.
Note where the index mark on the gearcase aligns
with the index number of the adjustable trim tab so
the trim tab can be reinstalled in the same posi-
tion. Remove the trim tab retaining screw and trim
tab from the gearcase.
Remove the forward screw with the washer, and
remove middle screw.
Remove the four gearcase retaining screws.
Remove the gearcase assembly from the exhaust
housing, being careful not to bend the shift rod or
damage the water tube. The lower inner exhaust
housing may come out with the gearcase.

vicing, twist and remove all spark plug
