Still need help - 94' Evinrude 175HP

[awthacker]

I made a quick video, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGc3E...=youtube_gdata) which I hope can present my question better than I have in previous posts. My problem is that I can't lift the powerhead off the midsection. Skools had previously said "the powerhead adapter is coming off with the powerhead and it looks to be bad". Do I just need to use excessive force and pry this rubber adapter off the powerhead?

Thanks,

Aaron

REMOVE the 3/4 Steering arm bolts. They need to come out to remove the powerhead.

i had same motor once, it rotted thur and the lower unit shaft was rusted in place, I gave up on it and gave it to BS he left it hanging up side down and sprayed it and pryed it then sold as is stuck together for parts!

good luck!!

i think you need to pull those bolts, dont know for sure with the 94 but the service manual says i need to for my 78 johnny 175, and i know the blocks are the same all the way to 91.

not sure on evinrude, but on mercs, the steering arm bolts on a plate between the block and mid-section. i appears in your video to be one piece, so i think kam & Orlando are right. do you have an exploded view parts breakdown of your engine, than should show what you need to know. might want to do search and pick up a omc manual for your specific engine

just watched the video, I do think you will have to pull those steering bolts, I'll see if I can look at one this week
