    1985 35hp merc. Broken shift shaft.

    Possible I guess, hope not because there are 2 more rubbers under the powerhead. They get wiped out when the lower bearing/seal on the engine fails. Covered in gas and oil they don't last long, soon after engine runs on one cyl and takes out the cranckshaft splines and driveshaft upper splines...
