Removing Lower Unit in '74 Chrysler Magnapower 55 HP

Great - I'll take a look - thanks everyone!

Did you disconnect the shift linkage? If I recall correctly you need
to remove a few bolts holding the shroud around the leg together.
After you've done this you should be able to see a barrel nut holding
the two parts of the linkage together. Just turn it until they
disconnect.

Before you do this, put the shift in neutral and scribe a line on the
shift linkage at some convenient point. This will greatly help in
adjusting it when you reconnect.

Hope this helps...J.D.

Hi all.

I'm going to attempt to replace my impeller on a 74 Chrysler Magnapower
55 horse outboard. I removed all of the bolts holding the lower unit to
the motor, but it would only come down about 1 inch. I'm sure I'm
missing something, but I'm not sure what - any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill
