    Agree the difference in the 2:0 and 2:2 is done with gear set in upper section. Correct there is no shimming. There is a difference in upper/lowers in early years and need to check

    Tilt/Trim Pin in outboard with 25hp

    Have not removed one of these but looking at the parts I believe the nut and broken rod needs to be unscrewed. There are no keeps to keep the pin from sliding out so the rod should just screw up inside the pin and this is what keeps the pin centered.

    Engine will not crank or start....

    Turn key to start and grab the shifter and move it slightly fwd/rev to see if it needs adjusting/replacing. If no luck, use a voltmeter and place it on the yel/red wire on the key switch and see if you get 12V when the key is turned to start. If 12V is found, check if 12V is found on the Small...
