hoping for some help.
I am currently working on two motors and I am beyond green when it comes to repairs. Both are my first motors and I'm hoping to get them both up and running.
Main issue is with a 1976 35hp (model 35E76G).
I am trying to replace the dog clutch. I have the lower unit off, drive shaft out, bearing housing removed and retaining ring out. Now I'm stuck. I cannot figure out how to remove the shifter yoke in order to get the prop shaft out. I can see the yoke is held in place by the shift rod (correct name?) and a pin (shift lever pin) on the opposite side. The pin is held in place by a cotter pin that is beyond small and I cannot get in there to remove it. Is there something I'm missing?
Second motor is a 1977 35hp (model 35E77H)
The power pack went on this one so while I was pulling my hair out with regards to the '76 motor I had a (beer induced) bright idea that I could take the lower unit from the '77 and use it on the '76. It did go in with relative ease, the forward/neutral/reverse are a bit funky but I am manually moving the prop at this time, not using it under power as I do not have water muffs.
Question.....should I even attempt to put water to it and run it? I can't see why it would not work but hoping to get a more level headed response before I (potentially) ruin two motors.
any and all info is greatly appreciated
