Re: 33 hp Scott Lower Unit questions

Richard,
I just finished getting the powerhead off the outboard & needed heat to get almost everything off. If you need just a little heat try a heat gun. My thumb screws were rusted on & I would of bent them if I didn’t use heat to get them off. You guessed it too. It is a Mercury that had sat outside without any covers except a baby seat. To get the powerhead off I hung it in the air & used a 2×4 across the lower shroud to get it to move. I was lucky the gears came off. It turned over nice & plugs looked good & even carbon on them. I know a guy who has many Scott gaskets if you need any.
