Re: MERC-150-1974
Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Are you talking about the 5/16" shaft that's inside the tube where the motor turns left to right, or something in the tilt tube where the motor tilts up and down? The 5/16" shaft is the shift shaft. It's pinned to a lever at the top and to a splined socket at the bottom. To get the shaft out, you have to remove the powerhead to lift it from the top, or drive out the pin to drop it out of the bottom with the gearcase removed. That's a rare occurrance. They usually don't pose a problem. Why do you want to remove it?
