My son came over today and helped me lay down the Gale so I could install the tilt pin
that I forgot to put in previously. The tilt pin assembly and it’s spring were almost a “no-brainer”
but I’m not sure where the left over coil spring goes for sure. (Part #124 in the Gale diagram)
The lower unit was “blue” when I got it, and it’s the same as my 1955 RDE-17. Therefore
I presume it’s a 50’s lower unit from an Evinrude.
I looked on my RDE, and it doesn’t have said spring, nor does it show it in the RDE parts
diagram.
The only thing I can think of is an “anti-rattle” spring for the reverse lock lever.
The reverse lock lever works fine “as is” though. Does the main transom mount
bolt go thru the spring?
Can anyone explain where this spring goes, how it attaches, and it’s purpose?
Photo of one install would be great of course!
Thanks.
Prepare to be boarded!
