Attached is a picture of my lower drive shaft. Evidently, the problem is the clip is missing. It looks like the groove the clip goes into is very shallow. I think Evinrude changed this design in later years. Mine is a 1966 model. Do you know a part number for this clip? I am trying to think of a more positive repair. so this does not happen again.
Thank you all for your responses!
