Well good news & bad news on my winter 91'/90hp Force project. I bought a lower unit to replace the split one that was on it when I bought it. The good news in that is I got it for $100....which so far, is good. It looks like it work out very well. It appears to be a fresh water unit complete with a pretty good fully assembled/included prop, water pump, 2nd driveshaft etc.
That bad news is that in shipping the lower shift rod got slightly bent. Now it was fully extended up so nothing is bent below the seal when its in its full down position.
So question for those in the know: Is this difficult to fix?...note the old shift rod from the cracked housing unit is good and straight, etc so I have a spare. I don't want to disassemble the lower gear system in order to replace this....do I need to? I have not tried straightening it yet. It is stainless so its a tough little guy.
However I wanted to query you guys to see if you can offer some insight on how to tackle this?
note: I have a Clymer manual but I haven't found this procedue in it...yet.
Many Thanks...I'll try to post some photos...when I find my charger for my recently re-located D-camera.
