Re: Help with how shallow water drive is supposed to operate on 30 tiller.
Hey juicegoose, just looked at those pictures in your 1st post again and then looked up that model number. 1st thing I found on shopevinrude.com was that model number comes up as a 1990 30hp. I then compared it to the 1978 Evinrude that I had and they are basically the same and unchanged much in design. Some of the part numbers are changed.
Looking through both parts breakdowns, I do not see 2 pins listed that connect all the linkages. Shows only 1 pin that crosses to both sides. If you are not in a hurry to resolve this I could go to my brothers and look at that one as see if there are actually 2 pins or just one.. There are also a number of springs for the tilt and the shallow drive. You might want to look at those to see if any are stretched or bent.
