My boat has an 80HP mercury blue stripe motor mounted on it. I can see the hooks on the back side of the motor, and I have the pin inserted into the correct place. When I lower the engine, the hooks go over the pin, but will not lock. When on the water I shift into reverse and the motor comes out of the water and is not locking down.
Neat the hooks there is a rod that goes into the lower unit, and when i wiggle the rod, it wiggles quite a bit. Should this rod be solid, or have movement to it?
