I am new to this site and new to outboards so please be gentle and excuse my poor terminology! I have a Johnson Seahorse 18hp model no. FDL - 19D. I believe this is a 1965 model. It will not change out of forward gear so I checked all old posts and removed the inspection plate to find the linkage to the gearbox was disconnected. I managed to get the lower shift rod to pop back into the connector and got my gear changes back! However, when I tried to tighten the lower screw I find it will not tighten - the screw just turns? As far as I can tell from a parts diagram there is no nut involved, so is the connector threaded? Can anyone suggest why the screw won't tighten please?
Thankyou
Steve
