While you have it apart, I would have it tack welded in 4 areas around where the pieces go together, that way you won’t have any further issues. 😎

The only problem then is he’ll be breaking prop blades or gears when he uses the motor for digging clams in the shallows!

What if I use a real soft drive pin like a bamboo kebab skewer cut to length 😆 😉
We’re not allowed to dig for clams locally. Red tide (yeah right) for as long as I can remember ,but that doesn’t stop some of the "non fluent in English" types from of filling their boots. 👿 They seldom get nabbed due to cutbacks in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. But I digress…

I did manage to squeeze it back to 6 11/16ths at work where they have a big enough vise. Thought it might be better than pounding on it. I didn’t take the time to clean it out really well as Frank suggested, so I couldn’t see well enough if the spring is broken or not. Will do that tomorrow at lunch.
