I have an '86 25 HP ML and the tilt lever stop screw is loose or stripped partly and I'm afraid it will fail soon and then I won't be able to tilt the motor up and have it lock. Does this screw thread into the side of the swivel bracket assembly or does it attach through the assembly with a nut on the other side? I can't tell from the diagrams I'm looking at in my Clymer's book. If it threads into the assembly can I drill it out and put in a helicoil?
Thanks in advance,
GD
