for reference I should add this picture from the other side. It’s the mirror position. Seemingly a bolt that maybe goes through or near the crankcase? Possible one bolt comes to the surface and the other does not?
Ok got my service manual. Learning a lot. Think I’m gonna take apart piece by piece just to learn. But first I did a thorough examination and found what I think might be a missing bolt or something threaded. Gonna give three pictures at various levels of zoom for reference. If anybody knows...
I’m old but new to learning about outboards. When I was young I was a wader. Still believe there’s nothing better than wading, throwing a jig and seeing your line swim as you reel up the slack and set the hook on a beautiful smallie! But now I’m old with arthritic knees. Can’t do that...
