I made it home and got the boat on the lift. The pictures below show the process of taking the lower end off of the Mariner to get at the impeller. The first picture is the bolt you have to loosen to disconnect the shift linkage. I lies under the rubber grommet that has to be removed first.
There are two bolts holding the lover unit on. Remove these from the bottom of the lower unit and it slides out. The main drive shaft slides out also with no problem.

Four bolts hold the impeller hosing down over the drive shaft.

Here is a good video showing the whole process
These pictures are amazing! I found some more on this website: www.nauticexpo.com/boat-manufacturer/impeller-pump-18202.html
