I found a source of schematics for evinrudes and johnsons at
http://www.myboatparts.com. My question is, i need to replace my water pump housing how does the shaft come out of motor after you drop the lower unit? I dropped the lower unit and seems to hangup after dropping 6 or 8 inches is there a pin or clip?

That link takes you to the general page too, it's hard to get a direct link to the specific engine page... I use the BRP site, they have the specific exploded parts diagrams for the whole engine:

Does your shift rod run up to the linkage at the bottom front of the power head like the larger engines do? If so, this is what's hanging up your lower unit removal.

on my old 48 spl it was 2 screws that needed to be removed on the shift rod behind the starter motor ( you swung the starter out of the way) not sure if this would be the same on your motor.

Just did this a few months ago, same engine MW describes. I was hung up at about the same place. In my case it was after the driveshaft splines were disengaged, but before the shift rod was fully extracted. Had some difficulty trying to pull the end of the shift rod through the narrow round opening way up in the exhaust housing that seemed to have a rubber grommet of some sort in it . The end of the rod has a bend in it and is flattened for the screw hole, so I had to wiggle and jiggle and force it just a little bit, to get the end out of the grommet. I did sweat it a little about getting it back together, but it seemed to go back in a bit easier than it came out.
