Removing the lower unit
1. Drain the gear oil.
2. Set the gear shift to the neutral position,
and place a block of wood between the
anti-cavitation plate and propeller to keep
the propeller from turning, and then
remove the propeller nut and propeller.
WARNING
• Do not hold the propeller with your
hands when loosening or tightening it.
• Be sure to disconnect the battery cables
from the battery and the clip from the
engine stop lanyard switch.

cavitation plate and propeller to keep
the propeller from turning.
• When removing the lower unit with the
