Re: Mercury mark 6a disassembly woes

yes the top housing piece is preventing me from getting any further. I’d like to get the cowl off for cleaning and painting. If i hit it with a deadblow extremely hard I can make it rotate about a quarter inch. Probably the most frustrating part is how the service manual makes it so simple. Just remove the "special slotted screw" loosen co-pilot and presto! remove the power head from the swivel bracket… 😡
