I dropped a Yamaha seal into the lake when it stuck just long enough to not fall back on the engine a few years back. I glued that one to the middle cover. The Mercurys want to pull up about midway on both sides. I am pretty sure they would come completely off if I did stop and pry them back down which takes a surprising amount of effort when trying to hold the cover up at the same time. Suzuki isn’t much better.
Is there a product that helps keep the seals from sticking when pulling the top cover? I tried a silicone dry lube but it didn’t seem to make a difference.
