I am in the process of rebuilding a 76 6HP long shaft. It came with my sailboat, and has not run in at least 10 years.
It has a very hard gear shift. Doesn't matter what direction, forward to neutral, neutral to reverse. It feel's like its very tight.
I have the lower unit off to service the water pump, so I do not suspect the shifting mechanism down there. I took the powerhead off today, and I can see the upper part of the shift lever.
Anyone have any advice on how to make the lever move more freely?
