Looks like I’m on the hook for one of those unless I can borrow one from a local motor guy. I cannot find that thread in pipe or hardware (Thought about boring out a bolt if I could find one)
In any case, back to the situation at hand. I have dropped the lower unit twice.
First time I rotated the cam and I got lock in forward gear, with a full click release when put in reverse. Naturally I figured I had it in the opposite direction (180 deg) so I put it back to where it was and explored whether I can get it to lock with my fingers like I could when it locked in forward gear. Strange.
EDIT; I decided to drop the lower unit again and rotate the cam only 90°. Success !!
Not at all pleased with my mechanic
Thanks again for your help guys
wonderful forum
