I didn't remove it, somebody did that for me along with a knife through my bellows.. I tried a rubber universal plug and it sealed the hole fine....BUT after 6 hours of pulling my outdrive on and off.... I figured out that why I couldn't get it to go into foward gear...The space the rubber took up was for my shifting arm...so when I pushed the outdrive on the last half inch it would put it in neutral and bottom out against rubber.. |
