Hello, just bought a used honda 5hp from ebay and starts up fine, just no
water stream from rear of engine showing. No manual yet, but if someone
could explain relatively short how to change out water pump from lower unit
it would be appreciated. I took out the 2 lower bolts and separated the unit
but it seemed attached and only able to separate it 2-3 inches. My goal is
to pick up a manual this week, but would appreciate feedback.

IMHO Buy a service manual and do it properly. On a Mercury it is
difficult if you have never done it to get the shift shaft aligned.
