    I was able to get the motor to lift up and pivot so I could get underneath and get to the screws to take the powerhead off. Before I did that, I decided to take the exhaust cover off based on the progression Ben was showing on his YouTube video when he did his 55 Johnson OB. When I took those screws out the one closest to the powerhead broke off leaving about 1/2 inch of threads hanging out of the hole. I will probably take some penetrating oil and spray in there and let it work itself through. At least I have something to grab onto when I try to get the rest of it out I just hope it doesnt break off in the hole. Then I will have a real mess on my hands.
