Re: Johnson QD-14 issue…. help!

[Buccaneer]

Mystery solved! One of the point set "hold down screws" was
chewed up so I replaced it. It was about .005 too long and
protruded through and hit right on the retaining ring. Not
readily noticeable if you’re too poor to pay attention!
Put it together for the tenth time and works nice now, lol.
When I took it apart the twist grip was missing, so I
wasn’t sure "if"it worked previously. Found a nice
QD grip at Tomahawk, so it may be running in a day or two,
assuming the lower unit doesn’t give me fits!
Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
