"What is the name of the long

"What is the name of the long bolt that adjusts the trim on an outboard? It usually has a swivel end to release it for easy changing. The tilt/trim works great , but the bolt is missing and, when I bottom it out, I keep having to adjust for high speed."
 
"George, most guys refer to it

"George, most guys refer to it as the "tilt pin" however it actually called a "thrust rod".

Don't be surprised if a dealer tells you that they sell for over 100 bucks (ya - no kidding).

You can check places like ebay or do what I have done in the past. Just get the measurement of the hole and get yourself a piece of stainless rod. With a bit of piddling around to customize it, 20 bucks worth of rod works just fine
