Firstly, could not find serial number on this new to me motor. But have found model, and year from previous owner in which parts I have ordered for. Now here are the questions; 1: upon pulling lower unit which was covered in sand and salt deposits I got shift shaft out of alignment.
2: in the gear housing where water pump assembly cover because of the salt deposits I have snapped one bolt off, any tricks I have not tried to extract? ( have done this before on jeeps and small engines,just don’t want to mess up gear housing)
