Default Installing a water pump

Charles,
If you have a decent mechanical ability, it's really very easy. The
hardest part I found was how to disengage the linkage to drop the lower
unit. On my old 115hp, there was a small pin holding the shifter shaft in
place. Taking this pin out and pushing the shifter lever towards the motor
(I believe) released the mechanism. Putting it back in was almost as easy,
except for getting the pin back in (lack of room).

If you have the ability, but lack the knowledge, go buy a Clymer manual.
They're pretty cheap when you consider the fact you can then do a lot of
work on your own motor with it.

Best of luck. Don't know of a site that gives you any detail about the
procedure....

Second Question: Is this a pretty easy task?
Third Question: Any helpful web-sites?
