I'm gonna have to agree , the thin putty knives are gonna be your best bet. Try not to get too crazy with the cheese whiz and start swingin away at it like a serial killer !

I did mine and it was a biatch. I used some WD-40 with a thin Putty knife. I wanted to break out the small sledge hammer and start whacking away. Be patient.
Is the pump still in the housing? I had to remove the engine to get the pump out then I was able to remove the transom housing. Good luck
Some asshole used 3M 5200 sealant on the transom housing on my boat and after battleing that thing for almost two hours with putty knives and long straught razor blades I wanted to hunt him down and seal his ass and mouth shut with that stuff. I feel your pain my friend, just keep at it and it will come off.

That 3M 5200 is some bad a$$ stuff.It is not meant for anything that will ever need to be disassembled.You can put this stuff on and you wont need bolts or screws.I have seen this stuff pull off gel coat.The 3M 4200 is the stuff made for disassembly.You were lucky you removed your adapter with the transom intact.
The gentle putty knife tapped in and worked around the adapter worked for me after I cut away all the silicone I could.
should I come back over with my putty knives?
Grease and gasket works good when you put it back on. No leaks here.
