Hi, how am I supposed to pull this shift rod out. I disconnected it from the engine compartment, so it is free, pulled the lower leg down, but only do far. The shift shaft pulled down 6" or so, but wont go any further. To get the lower unit off completely, I had to oull the shift rid out of it. Its still hanging there, stuck on something.
Does anybody have parts diagrams for this outboard?

Ah yes... it's a Honda. It was just given to me so I really know very little about it. My mistake. Well, I managed to get it out. There was a rubber seal it couldn't get past and the top part of the shaft screwed out from the rest of it. I needed to remove the drive shaft housing to do that. Thanks anyway.
Are you sure it is a Yamaha motor ?

It was a mistake.-----Wrong information gets little in the way of good answers.
