ok guys i need advice I have always been a johnson person but i bought a 50 hp mercury 1974 model.
problem is motor hasnt been run in 4 years motor will not disengage to netural i have tried to drop the foot down i have everything loose ,dropped down maybe a 1/4 inch and thats it will not go any further.
I have been told that it has a star line up and should seperate inside the housing.
I have been very careful even usuing a rubber mallet to try getting it loose.be appreciated
i dont have a lot of hair but this one is about to make me loose the rest.
ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If all the bolts are loose there is nothing else holding it up.A good yank wiggle and she should drop down completely.
