I bought my first 14 ft. Sea king aluminum boat with a 1976 35 hp johnson 2 stroke 35R76G. I also have the service manual but didnt find specifically how to screw this rod back in and that is my problem right now. I took it out because I couldnt pull or push it by hand and thought it might be because it was caked with black stuff and I wanted to clean it off. I cleaned it up but now I cant get it back in to screw it down. Something ( maybe sleeve) is in the way and wont move back into place for me. I tried with a piece of wire but it just doesn't seem to move back into place. Pics (best I could) below. TIA
