GEARCASE REMOVAL
AND INSTALLATION
Gearcase Removal
Remove pin and washer from shift rod lever to
release the lower shift rod.
Note where the index mark on the gearcase aligns
with the index number of the adjustable trim tab so
the trim tab can be installed in the same position.
Remove the trim tab retaining screw, gasket and
trim tab from the gearcase.
Remove the forward screw with the washer, and
remove middle screw.
Remove the four gearcase retaining screws.
Remove the gearcase assembly from the exhaust
housing, being careful not to bend the shift rod or
damage the water tube. The lower inner exhaust
housing may come out with the gearcase.

To prevent accidental starting while ser-
vicing, twist and remove all spark plug
leads. During service, the outboard may
