" Hi,
For the second time, the clamps loosend up on my kicker (early 70's 25 HP Johnson), while I was out in the water. I disconnected it and placed it on the floor in the cabin, it was there for a few weeks, apparently it was bouncing around on it's side.
When I took it out, I found that the shift lever had broken off at the base, the break is flush with where the cylinder protrudes from the exhaust housing. There is nothing there to get a grip onto. I tried using an easy-out to shift it, but what happend was the leftover shaft slide further into it's cylinder in the exhaust housing. I did manage to get it back into neutral by manually moving the shift rod from inside of the exhaust housing.
So, if I want to go ahead and fix it, where do I start?
Thanks,
