I took that off and looked up into the cavity, nothing. The 5th bolt
is right next to the trim tab going forward. That's ones out

There's a gap now which tells me the corrosion is in the gearing

The corrosion should not be in the "gearing" since that is a sealed
compartment in the foot.

Sorry, got deverted

I mean where the long 'D' shaft goes up into the engine



Water will get up in that area where the
joint you are trying to crack open is.

Which end seems to be stuck, the front or the back?

The front


Some of the Mercurys have a design of shift shaft that needs to be
unscrewed before they will separate but I thought it was only a few
old, midrange 2 strokes.

I checked with the owner of the shop near me and he said it didn't
need to be disconnected. I called him so many times on stuff that I
finally sent him 2 pizzas to say, "thanks"

It is a threaded shaft with a shaft coupler and a lock nut right up
front, coming down from the top.

He showed it to me but said don't worry about it.


I doubt that is it but it is worth a look.

Can you get it to rock side to side?

at the gap?, no.

I'll be out of town until Friday. Hopefully all the spray I did will
have had time...when I get back

This is the scary part. If this is still just corrosion on the front
locating pin it won't cause any damage when it finally pulls free but
if this is the shaft coupler for the shifter, it could pull the shaft
out of the foot. There is only a single jesus clip holding it in. If
that happens, there is a very good chance the cam will fly out and you
are going into the foot to fix it. I would believe if that was what
was hanging you up there should be a little free play.
I assume by now you have all of the white powder out of the bolt
holes. One of those heavy duty dental picks they sell at harbor fright
can help there. WD 40 seems to soften it up.


Thanks, BB Friday, I'm off to DC

Hello, Krause

No, that is my actual name and one of my email addresses at the
top...unlike CB, I don't have to hide under something fake because I
do nothing but spew bile--even when asking for help fixing a boat.

At least one, Amber Lee Ettinger (Obama Girl) woke up when she got her
tax bill. Then discovered Obama is full of ****.

Seems like most of the groups favored for pandering over the last few
decades are seeing the light. Like I said before, I really haven't heard
of one of my kids friends that still supports Obama. These are High
School kids, and they are not only scared to death of the growing debt,
but ****ed as hell. "He is not gonna' get us this time"... Is something
I hear a lot of.

Hopefully the kids realize just hope important it is to them. They will
be the ones paying for it. Obama never has any intention of paying real
money for anything ever. The man is addicted to debt and the kids are
going to pay for it.

Black Racist Teacher: Obama is great!!!
Kid: Then why does he want me to pay for his addiction to debt?

Sure. The "evidence" presented by a known spoofer/liar/racist and
Knuckles agrees.
