Should be free at that point. There's 3 or 4 bolts around the cover that are much longer than the rest, they're all that hold it down I think. Any of them snap?
It’s a fresh water ski so corrosion isn’t a huge issue. Nothing felt like it snapped and I’m pretty sure the 3 or 4 you are talking about all came out in the same length. But even if they broke it would still lift up off the hull. I’m thinking this thing is glued down or something. Like, I was reefing on it and all the screws came out easy and I took them all out. Ugh……such a pain!!!
My next plan of attack is to try to hammer a putty/plaster/drywall knife thing under it…..unless anyone can think of a better idea?

Squirt Kroil around the base of it where the mounting bolts were, wait a couple days, tap it with a rubber mallet, then gently pry it off.
Performed the above. Didn't seem to work.
To anyone trying to remove a 1100zxi or 900zxi ebox e-box. They are glued/epoxied to the hull.
Here is how I removed mine. Squirted kroil in the mounting holes and let it soak for a few days. Perhaps it helps with loosening whatever glue was used.
Grabbed a rubber handled hammer. Inserted the rubber handle through the hole in the ebox case where the stator connecters go, about 5-6 inches. This gave me enough leverage to be able to forcefully pry it off, and the rubber coated handle protected the ebox. Perhaps a thick wooden dowel/handle would also work.
