I noticed the other day out in the water that my outboard was stuck in forward, getting home i noticed that the shift lever screw was gone, i ordered a new on but do i have to remove the lower end to replace or will i be lucky and just have to put it back in where it came out. I am guessing lower end removal, i cannot find anything online about it. was hoping for a video or pictures. thanks

Is this screw on the lower unit ?----The pivot screw for the shift fork ?-----Or at the top of the shift rod ?----So has the lower unit been running full of water ?
