Whole drive is off boat.
Pulled the lower unit off of the upper unit to replace the impeller and this pin was laying in the housing.

while pulling the elbows off to get to where the flappers used to live, you will also want to inspect your rubber exhaust hoses.

number one thing that kills them is overheat or running without water (rubber bits melt at 250 degrees and your exhaust without water running is between 900 and 1100 degrees)

you will also want to find the two missing halves of the flapper in addition to the pin in your hand.
