Hey so ive watched a couple of videos on how to disconnect the shift linkage on an outboard so I can replace the water pump. One showed a nut connecting the linkage, another showed a plastic and metal clip, my motor has neither. All i can see is a connector with two small pins right above the lower unit. Is this where I disconnect the linkage? I banged out the top pin but the linkage still wont come apart. Do i need to bang out the bottom one too or am I missing something?
