well i was trying to put the Lower unit together on my 1976 15hp Evinrude and the bolt stripped while trying to tighten it; can a guy order them somewhere or any close substitutes? the hardware stores out here in bismarck are pathetic
I assume that you're speaking of the screw that goes into the brass shift connector? If so, you've probably stripped that brass connector also. Fast cure would be to re-tap that stripped brass connector with a 1/4x20 tap, then install an approximate length 1/4x20 screw.
