  • 1997 Yamaha stuck lower unit

    Greetings;
    Here's the story, I am "trying" to do a water pump on my 1997 225 Yamaha (model s225turv), according to the service manual it has 6 bolts around the lower unit, when you remove the trim zinc there is another bolt underneath.

    All of them are removed... No problem so far, so I was hoping the lower unit would just come out. Nope, wont drop or move at all. I took a 8oz rubber hammer and thought a few love taps around the lower unit would jar it loose. Nope, still attached with NO movement.

    Any other ideas on how to get a lower unit that really likes to be attached to the mid section off? (short of using a sawzall to get it off )

    Thanks
    Tom

      Yes I removed the zinc trim and the bolt that was under it for a total of 8 bolts. 3 around each side of the lower unit (6 total) one for the zinc trim tab and one for the one under it.

      Thanks.
