Reply To: Pivot pin 57 Johnson 35 HP

I am only working with the skeg and pivot pin so the shifter fork is not the problem. As for the threads I can’t say. Before I took the gear case apart I did see that the pin was only inserted a short distance (the same distance that it goes in with just the skeg and pin ). So the problem existed prior to disassembly . I was able to easily able to run a 1/4 by 28tpi tap through the skeg with no problem. I think maybe I am beaten. Brian
