Alrighty guys - I've got a problem. '61 Evinrude, 10HP Sportwin. Just
came into my posession. Looks like the shift linkage in the leg is
bent (pulled) downward - I suspect someone tried to pry off the lower
end without disconnecting the linkage.

Can it be unbent? What exactly is the geometry of the linkage? What
would be the recommended course of action?

Thanks!
