Tried to do the water pump today and what a can of warms I got myself into. The Evinrude water pumps I have done went much better. I was thinking how easy this would be without that screw on the shift rod....well I want the screw back.
I felt like it was all lined up as much as I could. The shift rod connection point was not and bent or was bent before. I tried like crazy to get this all lined up, but no luck this rod is toast. In the process I am pretty sure the connection from the front of the motor to the shift rod got messed up also. I am ready to go to the dealer. Just wondering how much work and ask them to replace everthing from my control cables to the lower unit rod.
