having problem with getting lower unit to drop down

[akwolf]

ok yall out there i nave a question, why doesnt the lower unit of my mercruiser wont drop all the way down, i have removed all bolts, nuts and screws, and it will only come down about a 1/2 inch to an inch. is there something still holding the unit there or is there something else that i cant see. I have a 1965 I/L4 mercury mercruiser 120/140 horsepower engine. The water intake is not sucking water thru, engine get real hot real fast.<br /><br />thank you<br />akwolf akwolf4u@msn.com
