Re: Evinrude 9.5 Reverse Lock

[frankr]

Look under the hood, at the levers that the shifter handle moves. See the round interlock pin, combined with a hex screw? Held by that screw is a thin lever, which moves up and down when you shift. Through the end of that lever goes a thin rod, which extends through the swivel and comes out at the "claw" that hooks onto the tilt rod when in reverse. The rod attaches to a barrel/setscrew assembly that is adjusted to it locks in reverse only.

Busted motor mounts fouls the whole thing up, but it sounds like you have something else going on.
