Hi Ernie,
You did not mention the make of your outboard, but I will take a stab at it.
I have a Mercury 115hp four-stroke, so they may be similar. Besides the
bolts for the plug cover that are easily visible, there is another on the
lower left, somewhat hidden behind a fuel line from the fuel pump; it is a
hassle to get out, and worse to put back in without dropping it down under
the motor. Once you get that bolt out it still takes some wiggling and a
little forcing to get the cover out, but it will come out. Once I am able
to get that bolt of mine out from under the motor, I doubt that I will
bother putting it back in place.

Attempted to remove spark plugs on a 2003 90HP 4 stroke engine and what a
pain. Removing the four bolts that anchors the plug cover is no trouble.
Removing the cover is the problem. Has anyone successfully accomplished
this? Thanks for the help.
