How do I dissolve corrosion between the upper and lower unit on an outboard engine?
 

How do I dissolve corrosion between upper and lower outboard unit so
to get at the impeller?

I took all five nuts off (125 mercury sal****er) the studs holding the
lower unit on. I had to use penetrating spray to get the washers off.

After whacking the seam dividing the upper and lower with a rubber
hammer till blue in the face I etched/scored/scratched the seam to
allow penetration spray to work in, nothing.

After 24 hours of repeated spraying whacking and more scoring, the two
halves still won't come apart. Short of pounding in a chisel (gouging
aluminum), and prying them apart, anyone have an idea?

Use a sharpened straight putty knife as a wedge between the halves. Once
you see a gap you can use a wide chisel. Don't rush it it will come
apart with minimal scarring. File down the boo boos on the mating surfaces.

Try a boating discussion board. Rec.Boats is a vehicle for right-wing
trash to whine about President Obama and for those few of us centrists
or slightly left of center here to laugh at the righties.

Try heating just one of the parts, a gas welding torch gives a lot of
heat in a small area. In Des Moines, one supermarket chain has dry ice
in a vending machine for two bucks a pound. Chill and then heat one
half.

Heating is going to ruin the paint.

I have used the putty knife followed with a chisel successfully on i/
o's. Really gop up the steel parts with antisieze when you put it
back together.

Can be the drive shaft corroded to the power head. May have to cut a hole
in the leg and then cut the shaft. replace shaft and have leg welded.
Also, I had to have the chips in the leg welded on a Mariner 15 that did not
want to come apart and had to pry apart.

All the ones I have pulled apart that shaft goes through a seal into
the area where there is gear lube. But that's on i/o's. Maybe it's
different on outboards.

I have had outboards be a little cranky but never had to pry one
apart.
Start the nuts a few turns so it won't drop and kick the gear housing
"bullet" on each side. That will rock it and break it loose most of
the time
If it was one of the shafts corroded up you would still have a little
free play. My bet is still the locating pins.

The bolts, if stainless, cause a reaction with the aluminum housing. the
resulting white oxidation wedged tightly in the gap causes the binding.
Grease or never seize will prevent the problem in the future. Wedging
the halves apart is the best solution in stubborn cases

I can see daylight between the upper and lower now, at last toward the
prop end. I don't think the corrosion where the halves come to gether
so much as in the threaded studs or where the shaft goes into the top
end.

I've been using a chisel at the narrow end, above the prop. That's
where I can see through to the other side. At the risk of gouging the
other end, toward the stern, I may have to gouge it up a bit.

The anti-corrosion spray can only do so much if the shaft is corroded
into the gearing up top. (I don't know the technical jargon).

Demonic - How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America

The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party
activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and
celebrates mobs - it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless
in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as
standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand

The mob now now has the Chicago mobs copo as its leader, Oboobuh.

In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals
exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob...

Not exactly, on a lot of Merc outdrives you have to remove the trim
tab to get a socket on the sixth bolt that holds the lower unit on.

I think outboards use only five bolts and removing the trim tab (bolt)
is not necessary.

to get to.

Some of the Mercurys have a design of shift shaft that needs to be

I checked with the owner of the shop near me and he said it didn't

Which end seems to be stuck, the front or the back?

The front

This is the scary part. If this is still just corrosion on the front
locating pin it won't cause any damage when it finally pulls free but
if this is the shaft coupler for the shifter, it could pull the shaft
out of the foot. There is only a single jesus clip holding it in. If
that happens, there is a very good chance the cam will fly out and you
are going into the foot to fix it. I would believe if that was what
was hanging you up there should be a little free play.
I assume by now you have all of the white powder out of the bolt
holes. One of those heavy duty dental picks they sell at harbor fright
can help there. WD 40 seems to soften it up.

I took all five nuts off (125 mercury sal****er) the studs holding the
lower unit on. I had to use penetrating spray to get the washers off.

After whacking the seam dividing the upper and lower with a rubber
hammer till blue in the face I etched/scored/scratched the seam to
allow penetration spray to work in, nothing.

After 24 hours of repeated spraying whacking and more scoring, the two
