GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
This boat has been setting for a long time - and I would like to replace the water pump. Question is - how do I detach/loosen the shifting rod? I had an older engine and it was a one bolt removal, but no clue on this engine.
Thanks
Remove shift cable at the motor.-----Find the hitch pin on that horizontal shaft below the carburetors.----Remove that hitch pin.------Push that horizontal shaft to the port side and rotate it.----Shift rod is now loose.
