I changed the lower unit oil today and when I pulled the drain plug the was a small, about half inch pin stuck to the drain plug, boat ran fine last time out, the old fluid looked good no other metal shavings I looked at the exploded view of the lower unit in the service manual and it appears to be a "cross pin" that goes through the "sliding clutch" and is suppose to have a "retainer spring" around it and then I noticed the prop shaft slides in and out half to three quarters of an inch, I have a pretty high mechanical knowledge except with cars I'm sort of new to boating this season, is this a difficult repair taking apart the lower unit? It's an alpha 1 mercruiser 3.0 in a 91 Larson
