How do I remove the lower unit from my 1984 50 hp. Mercury outboard motor?
Never mind I figured it out
To remove the lower unit on a 4-stroke 90 hp Mercury outboard, start by ensuring the engine is in the neutral position and disconnect the battery. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit, typically located on the rear and sides, and then detach the shift linkage and any associated wiring. Carefully lower the unit, taking care to prevent damage to the drive shaft and water pump. Finally, inspect the gaskets and seals for wear before reassembling.

To remove the bottom end of a 1991 Mercury Classic 50 outboard motor, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the gear oil. Then, remove the lower unit by loosening the bolts that secure it, typically found on the anti-cavitation plate and the side of the unit. Carefully lower the lower unit straight down to avoid damaging the shift shaft. Finally, you may need to remove additional components, like the propeller and exhaust housing, depending on your repair needs.
If the horsepower of your Mercury outboard lower unit is 75 and below, SAE 80W90 Gear Lube is recommended.
To replace the shift shaft on a 1973 50hp Mercury outboard, first, ensure the engine is securely tilted and disconnect the battery. Remove the lower unit by taking out the bolts and carefully separating it from the powerhead. Once the lower unit is off, you can access the shift shaft; remove the retaining pin or screw, then pull the old shift shaft out and replace it with the new one. Reassemble the lower unit, ensuring all connections are secure, and test the shift mechanism before reattaching the battery.

To change the water pump impeller on a 2001 Mercury 115 HP outboard, first, remove the lower unit by disconnecting the shift linkage and unbolting the lower unit from the powerhead. Once the lower unit is removed, take off the water pump cover by unscrewing the screws and carefully lift the old impeller out. Install the new impeller, ensuring it is oriented correctly, and reassemble the water pump cover and lower unit. Finally, reconnect the shift linkage and secure the lower unit back to the powerhead.
To rebuild a lower unit on a 40hp Mercury outboard, start by removing the lower unit from the engine by unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the shift linkage. Drain the gear oil and disassemble the lower unit, noting the arrangement of parts. Replace worn components such as seals, bearings, and the water pump, then reassemble the unit, ensuring all parts are properly aligned. Finally, refill with the appropriate gear oil and reinstall the lower unit on the outboard.
It is easy...remove the lower unit..about 5 bolts. If you want to see this done YouTube it...a lot of good videos for DIY.
The water pump is inbetween the lower unit and the motor . Remove the lower unit with 6 bolts and u will see it.
