Re: Is this a '73 85hp control? (with Pic)
Well I surely do have egg on my face. I added an extension bracket (see pic), and 1) tested carefully, while rotating shaft, adjusted to get BOTH F and R. R FIRMLY LOCKS INTO GEAR, in BOTH DIRECTIONS.
Then put the muffs on, and tested. Slides right into gear and revs up in the driveway. Can even feel it popping out of R and F when I shift.
However, when I put in the water, ALL I GET IS A CLICKING NOISE????
This proof that the shaft is bent or could there be a problem in the lower unit?
