1990's Mariner 6hp 2cyl Leg Lock broken, bits missing?

[Matt-H]

Hi All, I hope someone can help.

I have a vintage Mariner 6hp that I purchased last year, and quickly discovered (after purchase of course) that the leg was always locked down once on the boat. I can manually unlock it if I unhook the lock, but I can't see how this is supposed to work normally to just lock the engine down when in reverse. I think there may well be a part missing somewhere..?

Can anyone shed some light on this at all (I've looked at a bunch of exploded diagrams, but its v. hard to work out the engine and what I haven't got)

Many thanks in advance,
Matt

And I've no idea why I can't add multiple photos... its all a bit clunky.

What is the engine ID?

Where is that on these engines please...? Its been re-painted and re-stickered sadly so I'm not sure where to find it.

It's been repainted and restickered on the past so where would I find that?

Anyone?

See if you can identify this motor by looking at YAMAHA parts books from the 1980's years.

I think I'm missing something like this?

Does anyone have a photo of this thing installed?

So I've solved this now.

The missing part was indeed like Yamaha 6G1-43615-01-00

I had a few of them 3d printed (well something at the right overall dimensions) and it works perfectly.

Here it is:
