Homemade tools can be as simple as a piece of pipe with notches cut in the end. I just showed the real tool options to give you an idea of what goes on. The real tools DO make it easier and don’t cost much more than taking your wife out for Valentine’s Day dinner, though.
Maybe you could trade the Mark 10 for an OMC 10 of the same vintage. They are a lot more service-friendly and might get your grandson started out on the water on a more positive, less frustrating note. When I was a kid, I wouldn’t have had the patience for a Mark 10; and I suspect it would have gotten me just far enough away from home to get me into trouble, before something went wrong.
Long live American manufacturing!
