Nice place you all got here. <br />Problem: <br />On Merc 9.8 o/b, 1984, there is a mechanism that locks the engine tilt when the motor is shifted into reverse. This is a very flimsey setup in my opinion and doesn't work well at all on my motor. Mothing is broken but there is a lot of binding at the point where the rotating shaft from the lower unit connects to the push rod which actuates the lock. A soft plastic was used for some of the parts here. I have to fiddle withe the shifter in order to get the motor tilted up. Lubricating everything helped some but not enough.<br />Question:<br />Is there a way or a product which would allow me to disable the shifter actuated tilt-lock and make it manual like some of my older motors?<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Thanks a LOT for any answers!
