    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    Success—Shift Rod A is out! You were exactly right: stopper #13 is a spring clip that holds the rod in place during gearcase removal. I levered the rod downward with long-nose pliers, and it popped free without removing the powerhead. Thank you, and thanks to jgmo for continuing to help and...

    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    BobMech thanks for your contribution. If this works it's exactly what I wanted to hear. I was looking at possible repower and that's $$$. I bought the motor new and there's absolutly nothing wrong with it...runs like a raped ape;) If the rodA comes out does the clip get dislodged or does it...

    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    I'm out of options on this. The only fix I can see is to go into the powerhead and remove the stopper (#13) on shift rod A (#12). That is way beyond the scope of what I want to do. Before I throw the towel in on this one and do a repower is there anyone (within this forum) you could suggest...

    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    I see your comment in the first reply: I believe #13 "stopper" just limits the spline engagement depth and doesn't hold the shafts together. I didn't miss it but it didn't register as I looked at the circlip. It's the old saying: "I see says the blind man":mad:

    On closer inspection, I found what appears to be a circlip/stopper ring immediately above the splined end of Shift Rod A, as shown in the attached photo. Could this be item #13, the “Ring, Stopper,” shown in the parts diagram? Is this ring supposed to be removed to allow Shift Rod A to drop...

    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    I found that the long midsection component is Boats.net item #12, “Rod A, Shift,” part 24320-ZW1-900. Item #13 is a stopper ring fitted at its upper end. Could this stopper ring explain why the rod has slight vertical movement but will not withdraw downward after the gearcase is removed?

    jgmo, Thank you for taking the time to research it. Your warning about the snap ring is useful, and I won’t apply force without confirming the procedure. The rod has slight vertical movement but reaches a definite stop in both directions, so something is limiting its travel. I have also...

    jgmo...Thanks for looking into this. Here is the exact motor information: Model: Honda BF75A Frame/Serial number: BBAL-1002136 For clarity, this video shows the Shift Shaft B spline and the exact point where it blocks the stern bracket: Video: SS B.mp4 The gearcase is removed, but the shaft...

    Thanks. The gearcase was removed in neutral. I tried pulling the remaining shaft downward from inside the midsection. It has slight up-and-down movement, but it will not withdraw or move far enough for the upper spline to clear the stern bracket. The labeled photo shows the upper spline making...

    Honda BF75A Stern Bracket Blocked by Shift-Shaft Spline

    1997 Honda BF75A — Stern Bracket Removal Problem: The stern bracket makes hard contact with the “Shift shaft spline” before it can move far enough to clear the 12 × 150 mm mounting studs, preventing the bracket from separating. The lower unit, lower mounts, T&T connections and two upper nuts...
