Yamaha Outboard Help

[Coddy]

Hi All

 

I am in the process of overhauling my outboard, a Yamaha C40 2-stroke twin.

Not sure of the exact model or year as the serial plate is missing.

However, I have removed the lower gear box and leg to overhaul the impellor and now need to remove the powerhead.

I have removed 8 bolts that hold the engine onto the base plate but it does not want to move. Is there some other bolts I might have missed?

 

I have looked in the manual but it is not clear on what else to remove.

 

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Gear change rod under the carbs ?

On my 50hp Evinrude there is a stud in the upper leg with a nut under the spark plugs and possibly another stud and nut under the carbs.

Hi

 

Yes gear change rod under carbs (it's the Yamaha/Mariner model)

 

I did not want to dismantel too much if possible but it looks like I am going to have too.

Wonder why you would need to go to the lengths of removing the powerhead. If it aint broke dont fix it--yammys are pretty reliable.
