I've got a Yamaha 40HP, 3 cylinder outboard engine from 1984 which has a powerhead which doesn't come loose.
I want to remove the powerhead for replacing the seals at the water seal housing at the bottom of the powerhead.
I've already removed the 8 powerhead bolts and I've disconnected everything but the engine is stuck, it's going nowhere.
It seems the powerhead is stuck at the gasket or dowel pins, it also won't move sideways.
A Yamaha-dealer said it's possible to remove te powerhead without removing the lower-unit so the lower-unit is still on.
Can somebody tell me how I can remove the powerhead without damaging the aluminium parts?
