Re: 1976 evinrude 85hp lower unit removal HELPPPPPP
I dont have one here to take a picture
All you do to find it is follow the shift lever on the side of the engine and see how under the carb it moves a lever which pulls the shift rod up and down.
There is a screw on that lever which will require a flat head, back that out by going anticlockwise.
If you have one, use a magnetic pickup and pull it out and put it safely aside somewhere. your bellcrank screw is then thus removed.
If you dont have a magnetic pickup the shiftrod may still drop out with the screw just resting in there but its much better to get it out as it could end up somewhere almost unfindable
