I pulled the prop and there is no string wrapped around the shaft. I tried taking the exhaust hoses and clamps off, but there was not enough of wiggle space to remove them. I didn't have an exhaust gasket to remove the exhaust elbow. I tried feeling for the flapper pin (Number 41 on diagram)...

Will do. Thanks again for your assistance.

I have a call in to check with the marina tech to see how he got that psi. I appreciate your insight.
