1980 90hp part of mount broke, what is it?

[archcycle]

As I was pulling up to the ramp to get out the other day my throttle got really hard to move, and after getting it out of the water noticed this part was separated.

Am i missing a part here? does something just need adjustment?

Nothing looks missing to me, throttle cable goes into the cowl and connects to the big lever on the side of the powerhead, nothing down on the tilt/trim should bother it. Now that's not to say there isn't an issue with the lower unit going into gear, throttle and gear shifting go hand in hand.

with you TNT unit working it will not effect the use of the engine. it is what would sit on the tilt pin, if the motor did not have TNT.

Maybe this picture is more clear about what im looking at. The circled piece used to be attached at the hole the arrow is pointing at. The circled piece and the hole are tapered to fit together and something used to hold them together. The motor is hanging limp from the top mount now that its not attached at this point.

delete my other post. you need a new swivel bracket, or have it welded, either way it has to come off motor first.

As TD says.

Look at THIS DIAGRAM You have broken the bottom piece off the swivel bracket, #1, where it fits into the mounting, #12

BTW cannot find such a beast as a 1980 90hp. Above diag is of a 1981 .


On second thoughts you must have broken the bottom off #7, the steering arm or both??

looks like you broke the bottom off your steerig arm,you might pull the mounting bolts located in the front end then remove the side plates of your motor mounts,they are the 4 7/17 screws on each side,that will help u assess the prob

Yes typo its an 83 motor. Sadly that seems to be the consensus between you all and the 3 marine shops i just went to. #7 isn't cheap
