How do I replace the handle that you crank down to hang engine on transom? Does that pin drive out and you gotta get a new one? I have old engines I can take it off from but the pin looks to be rounded on ends. Gotta drill it out or what?
Re: How to replace broken transom screw down handle?
Usually those types of pins can be tapped out with a hammer and punch. just make sure you use a punch or rod that is the same diameter of the hole. You dont want it to get wedged inside the pin.<br /><br /> This is if you are refering to the hollow pins.<br /><br />If its a solid pin, you may have to drill the tip off, then tap it out.

I think I need to drill them out because they look solid and are rounded over on each end, I just hope they are not stainless cuz that's so hard to drill.
