Profile,location.You might be close to someone who can help.
Guessing it's a 85/125???
Under the snout is a bolt???
You disconnect the shift linkage?
If not then a rubber mallet on the cavitation plate.

Re: lower unit

Did you check to see if there's a bolt under the trim snout?

Re: lower unit

There's definitely a bolt under the trim/exhaust snout. Remove the snout and you will see a 1/2 in bolt under there.

Re: lower unit

Here is the excerpt to the Clymer's manual. It appears the shift linkage is not disconnected properly, but you say it is. The only other thing is the manual says the lower unit should be in the full down position. If not,seized drive shaft??

Re: lower unit

You also need to remove the exhaust snout before you can drop the L/U. There are two screws holding it. One is inside the snout itself while the other is the centering screw on the snout's tongue.
