"So my dad retired/moved and left me the boat and I have my first issue.

After having difficulties shifting into reverse I inspected the lever arm on the motor and was able to pull the entire lever arm out of the motor. Figuring this was a bad thing, we called it a day and took the boat home.

It looks like there should be some sort of a retaining ring that holds the cylinder in place to counter the spring pushing the cylinder out. Can anyone confirm this?"
 
"yes there should be something

"yes there should be something like a big snap ring or truarc retaining ring. that is if its anything like my 59' 35hp, should be the samething. try at lowes or napa for one"
