I?ve got a question about shear pin on an Eska 15 outboard motor. I know what it is, and where the spare is located, but my question is about fit! The original pin was sheared, and I had to use a punch pin to tap it out, but when I put in the spare it fits real loose, where it slides by finger touch one side to the other. SO is this the way it should be, or do I need to ?knurl? the center section with a pair of piers so it needs to be tapped into place? THX!

The new pin should slide easily in. The old one has to be driven out because it was distorted when it let go.
