Thank you, 909, for your tips. They are practical and super helpful. I am curious about the method of bypassing the rod by using a zip tie. How to pull it off? Where to put the zip tie? I would love a couple of pointers. Thanks again.
My 1996 Evinrude 9.9HP outboard motor has been running well, but yesterday the 'rod' connecting the gear handle to the shift system (sorry for my non-technical terms) got disconnected. I can't seem to find a place to put the rod back. The image attached shows the problem I have.
How can I...
